 a number of Python modules to be available within the Python in question. Currently,
 as of Sage 10.3, these modules are as follows: ``sqlite3``, ``ctypes``, ``math``,
 ``hashlib``, ``socket``, ``zlib``, ``ssl``, ``ensurepip``.
+For Python >= 3.12, also ``setuptools`` is required; for older Python versions,
+``distutils.core`` is required. These modules will be checked for by the ``configure``
+script.
 
 Use the ``configure`` option ``--without-system-python3`` if you want Python 3
 built from scratch.
