But how do they differ from the user’s POV? My understanding was that
distutils* and setuptools provide the ‘python setup.py’ interface, with
the same arguments and everything, no?

If the command-line interface is different, then yes. But if they have
the same command-line interface, then it doesn’t make sense to
distinguish among them, I think.
