+ This guide only covers the basic tools for building and distributing
+ extensions that are provided as part of this version of Python. Third party
+ tools offer easier to use and more secure alternatives. Refer to the `quick
+ recommendations section <https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/>`__
+ in the Python Packaging User Guide for more information.
+
+This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities ("Distutils") from
+the module developer's point of view, describing the underlying capabilities
+that ``setuptools`` builds on to allow Python developers to make Python modules
+and extensions readily available to a wider audience.
