The :mod:`distutils` package provides support for building and installing
|
||
|
|
additional modules into a Python installation. The new modules may be either
|
||
|
|
100%-pure Python, or may be extension modules written in C, or may be
|
||
|
|
collections of Python packages which include modules coded in both Python and C.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This package is discussed in two separate chapters:

The manual for developers and packagers of Python modules. This describes how
|
||
|
|
to prepare :mod:`distutils`\ -based packages so that they may be easily
|
||
|
|
installed into an existing Python installation.

An "administrators" manual which includes information on installing modules into
|
||
|
|
an existing Python installation. You do not need to be a Python programmer to
|
||
|
|
read this manual.
