I wouldn't say that. My Django port works with bare distutils (as does Django itself), and it works fine. That distribute had to redo it is only because setuptools *replaces* the build_py command, as does the 2to3 support in distutils. So only if you have a different build_py already, you can't use what is in distutils.
