-----------------------
The ``default_format`` attribute has been removed from
:class:`distutils.command.sdist.sdist` and the ``formats``
attribute defaults to ``['gztar']``. Although not anticipated,
Any code relying on the presence of ``default_format`` may
need to be adapted. See :issue:`27819` for more details.

accepting additional keyword arguments will need to adjust their calls to
:meth:`type.__new__` (whether direct or via :class:`super`) accordingly.
* In :class:`distutils.command.sdist.sdist`, the ``default_format``
attribute has been removed and is no longer honored. Instead, the
gzipped tarfile format is the default on all platforms and no
platform-specific selection is made.
In environments where distributions are
built on Windows and zip distributions are required, configure
the project with a ``setup.cfg`` file containing the following::
[sdist]
formats=zip
This behavior has also been backported to earlier Python versions
by Setuptools 26.0.0.
