Summary of changes
As stated in #2698, exposing
distutil.errorsvia thesetuptoolsmodule might facilitate people that want to tackle the migration motivated by PEP 632.These exceptions might appear when customising commands like
build_pyandbuild_ext, and there are examples of projects explicitly checking them in the original issue.This PR re-exports most of these functions via
setuptools.errors.DistutilsGetoptErrorandDistutilsArgErrorare left out, since they are related to the deprecated practice of running thesetup.pyscript directly (I think).I also removed the
"Distutils"part of the name of some exceptions and added notes about the migration/replacements in the docs.Closes #2698
