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:

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/ .
