| This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically |
| the Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' |
| packages. This is all you need to distribute and install Python |
| modules using the Distutils. There is also a separately packaged |
| standalone version of the Distutils available for people who want to |
| upgrade the Distutils without upgrading Python, available from the |
| Distutils web page: |
| |
| http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/ |
| |
| The standalone version includes all of the code in this directory, |
| plus documentation, test scripts, examples, etc. |
| |
| The Distutils documentation is divided into two documents, "Installing |
| Python Modules", which explains how to install Python packages, and |
| "Distributing Python Modules", which explains how to write setup.py |
| files. Both documents are part of the standard Python documentation |
| set, and are available from http://www.python.org/doc/current/ . |
