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.
