The stdlib docs for package distribution and building extensions are rather dated, and that isn't expected to change for 2.7 and 3.3. The Python Packaging User Guide isn't complete either, but it's already a much better road map for new users than the existing stdlib docs.

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.
