But notice that even agreeing removes 'pending', making it pretty useless.

Éric Araujo  added the comment:

That page is documenting distutils, so it is correctly showing a distutils 
import.  The page also starts with a note linking to setuptools doc.  
Therefore, I would close this ticket.

There is discussion on pydev about formally deprecating distutils, which would 
deprecate that snippet.

[Thomas Guettler]

New submission from Thomas Guettler :

Please remove this page or at least the code snippet 
containing `from distutils.core import setup`
on this page: https://docs.python.org/3/distutils/setupscript.html

There is the more up to date doc here: 
https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/packaging-projects/#creating-setup-py

Quoting Zen o Py: There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way 
to do it.

Thank you very much!
