- based on pip and other PyPA tools - includes references to the new Python Packaging User Guide where appropriate (and the relevant section is at least partially filled in) - started new FAQ sections - both guides aim to introduce users to basic open source concepts if they aren't aware of them - existing guides have been relocated (now linked from the distutils docs) rather then removed, since there is some needed material that has yet to be relocated to the distutils docs as a reference for the legacy formats

This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities ("Distutils") from
|
|
the module developer's point of view, describing how to use the Distutils to
|
|
make Python modules and extensions easily available to a wider audience with
|
|
very little overhead for build/release/install mechanics.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This guide only covers the basic tools for building and distributing
|
|
extensions that are provided as part of this version of Python. Third
|
|
party tools offer easier to use and more secure alternatives. Refer to the
|
|
`quick recommendations section
|
|
<https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/current.html>`__
|
|
in the Python Packaging User Guide for more information.
