| 10 | This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities ("Distutils") from |
| 11 | the module developer's point of view, describing how to use the Distutils to |
| 12 | make Python modules and extensions easily available to a wider audience with |
| 13 | very little overhead for build/release/install mechanics. |
