The python3-setuptools package is needed to build the python binding, so
that one can use things like:
# ~acme/git/perf/tools/perf/python/twatch.py

That have 'import perf;'.
But distros don't always have that python3-setuptools (or equivalent)
installed, which was breaking the build. Just check if it is installed
and emit a warning that such binding isn't being built and continue the
build without it:
With it:
$ rpm -q python3-setuptools
python3-setuptools-59.6.0-3.fc36.noarch
$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
<SNIP>
... libpython: [ on ]
<SNIP>
GEN /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
<SNIP>
$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 acme acme 1609112 Dec 17 11:39 /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
$
Without it:
$ sudo rpm -e python3-setuptools
$ rm -rf /tmp/build/perf ; mkdir -p /tmp/build/perf
$ make O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
<SNIP>

$ ls -la /tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
ls: cannot access '/tmp/build/perf/python/perf.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so': No such file or directory

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
