| 10 | The :mod:`packaging` package provides support for building, packaging, |
| 11 | distributing and installing additional projects into a Python installation. |
| 12 | Projects may include Python modules, extension modules, packages and scripts. |
| 13 | :mod:`packaging` also provides building blocks for other packaging systems |
| 14 | that are not tied to the command system. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | This manual is the reference documentation for those standalone building |
| 17 | blocks and for extending Packaging. If you're looking for the user-centric |
| 18 | guides to install a project or package your own code, head to `See also`__. |
