Python distutils is a module that provides support for packaging and distributing Python modules, also known as extensions. The `Extension` class is a sub-module of `distutils.core`, which allows developers to define C/C++ extension modules to be compiled and integrated with Python code. With `Extension`, developers can specify the module's name, sources, include directories, libraries, and other necessary parameters for compilation and linking. This enables Python programmers to easily extend the functionality of their applications by incorporating low-level languages like C or C++ into their Python codebase, enhancing performance or accessing external libraries.
