Éric Araujo cde6576820 Remove unneeded --all option of “pysetup list”.
The command without arguments already prints all installed distributions
found.

In addition, change “releases” for “projects” in the description of the
list action.  Strictly speaking, one installed distribution satisfies
the requirement for a release (i.e. version) of a project, but as
currently only one release per project can be installed at a time, the
two are somewhat equivalent, and “project” is more understandable in
help texts (which call their argument “dist”, by the way..)

Pysetup Tutorial
================
Getting started
---------------
Pysetup is a simple script that supports the following features:
- install, remove, list, and verify Python packages;
- search for available packages on PyPI or any *Simple Index*;
- verify installed packages (md5sum, installed files, version).
Finding out what's installed
----------------------------
Pysetup makes it easy to find out what Python packages are installed::
$ pysetup list virtualenv
'virtualenv' 1.6 at '/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info'
$ pysetup list
'pyverify' 0.8.1 at '/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pyverify-0.8.1.dist-info'
'virtualenv' 1.6 at '/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info'
...
Installing a distribution
-------------------------
Pysetup can install a Python project from the following sources:
- PyPI and Simple Indexes;
- source directories containing a valid :file:`setup.py` or :file:`setup.cfg`;
- distribution source archives (:file:`project-1.0.tar.gz`, :file:`project-1.0.zip`);
- HTTP (http://host/packages/project-1.0.tar.gz).
Installing from PyPI and Simple Indexes::
$ pysetup install project
$ pysetup install project==1.0
Installing from a distribution source archive::
$ pysetup install project-1.0.tar.gz
Installing from a source directory containing a valid :file:`setup.py` or
:file:`setup.cfg`::
$ cd path/to/source/directory
$ pysetup install
$ pysetup install path/to/source/directory
Installing from HTTP::
$ pysetup install http://host/packages/project-1.0.tar.gz
Retrieving metadata
-------------------
You can gather metadata from two sources, a project's source directory or an
installed distribution. The `pysetup metadata` command can retrieve one or
more metadata fields using the `-f` option and a metadata field as the
argument. ::
$ pysetup metadata virtualenv -f version -f name
Version:
1.6
Name:
virtualenv
$ pysetup metadata virtualenv
Metadata-Version:
1.0
Name:
virtualenv
Version:
1.6
Platform:
UNKNOWN
Summary:
Virtual Python Environment builder
...
.. seealso::
There are three metadata versions, 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. The following PEPs
describe specifics of the field names, and their semantics and usage. 1.0
:PEP:`241`, 1.1 :PEP:`314`, and 1.2 :PEP:`345`
Removing a distribution
-----------------------
You can remove one or more installed distributions using the `pysetup remove`
command::
$ pysetup remove virtualenv
removing 'virtualenv':
/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info/dependency_links.txt
/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info/entry_points.txt
/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info/not-zip-safe
/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info/PKG-INFO
/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info/SOURCES.txt
/opt/python3.3/lib/python3.3/site-packages/virtualenv-1.6-py3.3.egg-info/top_level.txt
Proceed (y/n)? y
success: removed 6 files and 1 dirs
The optional '-y' argument auto confirms, skipping the conformation prompt::
$ pysetup remove virtualenv -y
Getting help
------------
All pysetup actions take the `-h` and `--help` options which prints the commands
help string to stdout. ::
$ pysetup remove -h
Usage: pysetup remove dist [-y]
or: pysetup remove --help
Uninstall a Python package.
positional arguments:
dist installed distribution name
optional arguments:
-y auto confirm package removal
Getting a list of all pysetup actions and global options::
$ pysetup --help
Usage: pysetup [options] action [action_options]
Actions:
run: Run one or several commands
metadata: Display the metadata of a project
install: Install a project
remove: Remove a project
search: Search for a project in the indexes
list: List installed projects
graph: Display a graph
create: Create a project
generate-setup: Generate a backward-comptatible setup.py
To get more help on an action, use:
pysetup action --help
Global options:
--verbose (-v) run verbosely (default)
--quiet (-q) run quietly (turns verbosity off)
--dry-run (-n) don't actually do anything
--help (-h) show detailed help message
--no-user-cfg ignore pydistutils.cfg in your home directory
--version Display the version
