Ignore distutils configs in setup.cfg due to encoding errors.

Hi there! If you're experiencing encoding errors when working with distutils configs in the setup.cfg file, there are a few things you can try to resolve this issue.

First, make sure that the encoding of your setup.cfg file is properly set. You can do this by checking the encoding declaration at the top of the file. It should be in the format:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

If the encoding declaration is missing or incorrect, it can cause encoding errors when reading the file.

If the encoding declaration is correct and you're still encountering errors, you can try ignoring the distutils configs in the setup.cfg file. One way to do this is by using a custom setup script (e.g., setup.py) and specifying the required configuration options directly within the script.

Here's an example of how you can set up a custom setup script to ignore the distutils configs:

from setuptools import setup

setup(
    # Specify your package details here
    # ...
    
    # Ignore the distutils configs in setup.cfg
    use_cfg=False
)

By setting `use_cfg=False`, you can bypass any potential encoding errors caused by the distutils configs in the setup.cfg file.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
