+ Installing and Using Setuptools
+ ===============================
+
+ .. contents:: **Table of Contents**
+
+
+ -------------------------
+ Installation Instructions
+ -------------------------
+
+ Windows
+ =======
+
+ Install setuptools using the provided ``.exe`` installer. If you've previously
+ installed older versions of setuptools, please delete all ``setuptools*.egg``
+ and ``setuptools.pth`` files from your system's ``site-packages`` directory
+ (and any other ``sys.path`` directories) FIRST.
+
+ If you are upgrading a previous version of setuptools that was installed using
+ an ``.exe`` installer, please be sure to also *uninstall that older version*
+ via your system's "Add/Remove Programs" feature, BEFORE installing the newer
+ version.
+
+ Once installation is complete, you will find an ``easy_install.exe`` program in
+ your Python ``Scripts`` subdirectory. Be sure to add this directory to your
+ ``PATH`` environment variable, if you haven't already done so.
+
+
+ RPM-Based Systems
+ =================
+
+ Install setuptools using the provided source RPM. The included ``.spec`` file
+ assumes you are installing using the default ``python`` executable, and is not
+ specific to a particular Python version. The ``easy_install`` executable will
+ be installed to a system ``bin`` directory such as ``/usr/bin``.
+
+ If you wish to install to a location other than the default Python
+ installation's default ``site-packages`` directory (and ``$prefix/bin`` for
+ scripts), please use the ``.egg``-based installation approach described in the
+ following section.
+
+
+ Cygwin, Mac OS X, Linux, Other
+ ==============================
+
+ 1. Download the appropriate egg for your version of Python (e.g.
+ ``setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg``). Do NOT rename it.
+
+ 2. Run it as if it were a shell script, e.g. ``sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg``.
+ Setuptools will install itself using the matching version of Python (e.g.
+ ``python2.4``), and will place the ``easy_install`` executable in the
+ default location for installing Python scripts (as determined by the
+ standard distutils configuration files, or by the Python installation).
+
+ If you want to install setuptools to somewhere other than ``site-packages`` or
+ your default distutils installation locations for libraries and scripts, you
+ may include EasyInstall command-line options such as ``--prefix``,
+ ``--install-dir``, and so on, following the ``.egg`` filename on the same
+ command line. For example::
+
+ sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg --prefix=~
+
+ You can use ``--help`` to get a full options list, but we recommend consulting
+ the `EasyInstall manual`_ for detailed instructions, especially `the section
+ on custom installation locations`_.
+
+ .. _EasyInstall manual: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall
+ .. _the section on custom installation locations: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations
+
+
+ Cygwin Note
+ -----------
+
+ If you are trying to install setuptools for the **Windows** version of Python
+ (as opposed to the Cygwin version that lives in ``/usr/bin``), you must make
+ sure that an appropriate executable (``python2.3``, ``python2.4``, or
+ ``python2.5``) is on your **Cygwin** ``PATH`` when invoking the egg. For
+ example, doing the following at a Cygwin bash prompt will install setuptools
+ for the **Windows** Python found at ``C:\\Python24``::
+
+ ln -s /cygdrive/c/Python24/python.exe python2.4
+ PATH=.:$PATH sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.4.egg
+ rm python2.4
+
+
+ Downloads
+ =========
+
+ All setuptools downloads can be found at `the project's home page in the Python
+ Package Index`_. Scroll to the very bottom of the page to find the links.
+
+ .. _the project's home page in the Python Package Index: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
+
+ In addition to the PyPI downloads, the development version of ``setuptools``
+ is available from the `Python SVN sandbox`_, and in-development versions of the
+ `0.6 branch`_ are available as well.
+
+ .. _0.6 branch: http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/branches/setuptools-0.6/#egg=setuptools-dev06

+ Using Setuptools and EasyInstall
+ --------------------------------
+
+ Here are some of the available manuals, tutorials, and other resources for
+ learning about Setuptools, Python Eggs, and EasyInstall:
+
+ * `The EasyInstall user's guide and reference manual`_
+ * `The setuptools Developer's Guide`_
+ * `The pkg_resources API reference`_
+ * `Package Compatibility Notes`_ (user-maintained)
+ * `The Internal Structure of Python Eggs`_
+
+ Questions, comments, and bug reports should be directed to the `distutils-sig
+ mailing list`_. If you have written (or know of) any tutorials, documentation,
+ plug-ins, or other resources for setuptools users, please let us know about
+ them there, so this reference list can be updated. If you have working,
+ *tested* patches to correct problems or add features, you may submit them to
+ the `setuptools bug tracker`_.

+ Credits
+ -------
+
+ * The original design for the ``.egg`` format and the ``pkg_resources`` API was
+ co-created by Phillip Eby and Bob Ippolito. Bob also implemented the first
+ version of ``pkg_resources``, and supplied the OS X operating system version
+ compatibility algorithm.
+
+ * Ian Bicking implemented many early "creature comfort" features of
+ easy_install, including support for downloading via Sourceforge and
+ Subversion repositories. Ian's comments on the Web-SIG about WSGI
+ application deployment also inspired the concept of "entry points" in eggs,
+ and he has given talks at PyCon and elsewhere to inform and educate the
+ community about eggs and setuptools.
+
+ * Jim Fulton contributed time and effort to build automated tests of various
+ aspects of ``easy_install``, and supplied the doctests for the command-line
+ ``.exe`` wrappers on Windows.
+
+ * Phillip J. Eby is the principal author and maintainer of setuptools, and
+ first proposed the idea of an importable binary distribution format for
+ Python application plug-ins.
+
+ * Significant parts of the implementation of setuptools were funded by the Open
+ Source Applications Foundation, to provide a plug-in infrastructure for the
+ Chandler PIM application. In addition, many OSAF staffers (such as Mike
+ "Code Bear" Taylor) contributed their time and stress as guinea pigs for the
+ use of eggs and setuptools, even before eggs were "cool". (Thanks, guys!)
