distutils' Distribution class has a method has_ext_modules() that is used to determine if any extension modules are included in a distribution. There remains a call site in distutils.command.install where self.distribution.ext_modules is directly tested for truthiness, rather than calling has_ext_modules. This causes inconsistent behavior, e.g. when overriding has_ext_modules in a Distribution subclass.

Distutils is now deprecated (see PEP 632) and all tagged issues are being closed. From now until removal, only release blocking issues will be considered for distutils.

If this issue does not relate to distutils, please remove the component and reopen it. If you believe it still requires a fix, most likely the issue should be re-reported at https://github.com/pypa/setuptools
