Documentation

https://docs.python.org/3.11/distutils/index.html has this disclaimer

This document is being retained solely until the setuptools documentation at https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setuptools.html independently covers all of the relevant information currently included here.

I couldn't find anywhere tracking progress towards having that coverage in setuptools docs, so that's the purpose of this issue. I'm not sure whether there needs to be a consensus, or how to make the decision to check off a chapter as fully replaced.

• 1. An Introduction to Distutils
• 2. Writing the Setup Script
• 3. Writing the Setup Configuration File
• 4. Creating a Source Distribution
• 5. Creating Built Distributions
• 6. Distutils Examples
• 7. Extending Distutils
• 8. Command Reference
• 9. API Reference

This issue can track work being done in the setuptools docs: pypa/setuptools#3401
