| 2 | the Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' |
| 3 | packages. This is all you need to distribute and install Python |
| 4 | modules using the Distutils. There is also a separately packaged |
| 5 | standalone version of the Distutils available for people who want to |
| 6 | upgrade the Distutils without upgrading Python, available from the |
| 7 | Distutils web page: |

| 15 | Python Modules", which explains how to install Python packages, and |
| 16 | "Distributing Python Modules", which explains how to write setup.py |
| 17 | files. Both documents are part of the standard Python documentation |
| 18 | set, and are available from http://www.python.org/doc/current/ . |
