      5 indirectly provides the Distribution and Command classes, although they are
      6 really defined in distutils.dist and distutils.cmd.

     58     """The gateway to the Distutils: do everything your setup script needs
     59     to do, in a highly flexible and user-driven way.  Briefly: create a
     60     Distribution instance; find and parse config files; parse the command
     61     line; run each Distutils command found there, customized by the options
     62     supplied to 'setup()' (as keyword arguments), in config files, and on
     63     the command line.
     64 
     65     The Distribution instance might be an instance of a class supplied via
     66     the 'distclass' keyword argument to 'setup'; if no such class is
     67     supplied, then the Distribution class (in dist.py) is instantiated.
     68     All other arguments to 'setup' (except for 'cmdclass') are used to set
     69     attributes of the Distribution instance.
     70 
     71     The 'cmdclass' argument, if supplied, is a dictionary mapping command
     72     names to command classes.  Each command encountered on the command line
     73     will be turned into a command class, which is in turn instantiated; any
     74     class found in 'cmdclass' is used in place of the default, which is
     75     (for command 'foo_bar') class 'foo_bar' in module
     76     'distutils.command.foo_bar'.  The command class must provide a
     77     'user_options' attribute which is a list of option specifiers for
     78     'distutils.fancy_getopt'.  Any command-line options between the current
     79     and the next command are used to set attributes of the current command
     80     object.
     81 
     82     When the entire command-line has been successfully parsed, calls the
     83     'run()' method on each command object in turn.  This method will be
     84     driven entirely by the Distribution object (which each command object
     85     has a reference to, thanks to its constructor), and the
     86     command-specific options that became attributes of each command
     87     object.
