Not secure
=======



Changes
-------
* 2259: Setuptools now provides a .pth file (except for editable installs of setuptools) to the target environment to ensure that when enabled, the setuptools-provided distutils is preferred before setuptools has been imported (and even if setuptools is never imported). Honors the SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS environment variable.

Not secure
=======



Misc
----

49.2.0

Not secure
=======



Changes
-------
* 2230: Now warn the user when setuptools is imported after distutils modules have been loaded (exempting PyPy for 3.6), directing the users of packages to import setuptools first.

49.1.3

Not secure
=======



Misc
----
* 2212: (Distutils) Allow spawn to accept environment. Avoid monkey-patching global state.

49.1.2

Not secure
=======



Changes
-------
* 2232: In preparation for re-enabling a local copy of distutils, Setuptools now honors an environment variable, SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS. If set to 'stdlib' (current default), distutils will be used from the standard library. If set to 'local' (default in a imminent backward-incompatible release), the local copy of distutils will be used.
