Aye, that's the most comprehensive toolkit for packaging related
tasks, since it covers many of the never-actually-standardised pieces
that were defined by the distutils and setuptools implementations.

I've filed https://github.com/python/peps/issues/998 to note that we
should clean up that old "Implementation Details" section in PEP 376
to better match what actually happened.

Cheers,
Nick.
