History

Greg Ward acff0b3f3b Changed so lines that are all comment (or just whitespace + comment) are completely skipped, rather than being treated as blank lines (and then subject to the 'skip_blanks' flag). This allows us to process old-style Setup files, which rely on hello \\ # boo! there coming out as "hello there".		2000-09-16 18:33:36 +00:00

README

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
