!!

      ********************************************************************************
      As setuptools moves its configuration towards `pyproject.toml`,
      `setuptools.config.parse_configuration` became deprecated.

      For the time being, you can use the `setuptools.config.setupcfg` module
      to access a backward compatible API, but this module is provisional
      and might be removed in the future.

      To read project metadata, consider using
      ``build.util.project_wheel_metadata`` (https://pypi.org/project/build/).
      For simple scenarios, you can also try parsing the file directly
      with the help of ``configparser``.

This is -- a caller that pip uses to run setup.py

- It imports setuptools before invoking setup.py, to enable projects that directly

import from distutils.core to work with newer packaging standards.

- It provides a clear error message when setuptools is not installed.

- It sets sys.argv[0] to the underlying setup.py, when invoking setup.py so

setuptools doesn'"'"'t think the script is -c. This avoids the following warning:

manifest_maker: standard file '"'"'-c'"'"' not found".

- It generates a shim setup.py, for handling setup.cfg-only projects.
