Python setuptools

From wikinotes

Setuptools is the primary tool for packaging python projects for distriution.
A setup.py file serves as both a makefile, a dependency resolver, and a place for project information.


WARNING:

It's now encouraged to use pyproject.toml instead of setup.py to configure your project.
setuptools may still be used as your build system of choice under the hood.
