Both https://docs.python.org/3/extending/windows.html#building-on-windows and https://docs.python.org/3/extending/building.html recommends using distutils. As mentioned in PEP 632 distutils will soon be deprecated. I think it'll be a good idea to change the docs to recommend using setuptools and also change the source code for setup.py to use setuptools instead of distutils.
