This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils. Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though. Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:
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/
From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.
The standalone version includes all of the code in this directory,
plus documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.
The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
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/ .
