.. The audience for this document includes people who don't know anything
|
||
|
|
about Python and aren't about to learn the language just in order to
|
||
|
|
install and maintain it for their users, i.e. system administrators.
|
||
|
|
Thus, I have to be sure to explain the basics at some point:
|
||
|
|
sys.path and PYTHONPATH at least. Should probably give pointers to
|
||
|
|
other docs on "import site", PYTHONSTARTUP, PYTHONHOME, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, it might be useful to include all the material from my "Care
|
||
|
|
and Feeding of a Python Installation" talk in here somewhere. Yow!

This document describes Packaging from the end-user's point of view: it
|
||
|
|
explains how to extend the functionality of a standard Python installation by
|
||
|
|
building and installing third-party Python modules and applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide is split into a simple overview followed by a longer presentation of
|
||
|
|
the :program:`pysetup` script, the Python package management tool used to
|
||
|
|
build, distribute, search for, install, remove and list Python distributions.

The manual for developers of Python projects who want to package and
|
||
|
|
distribute them. This describes how to use :mod:`packaging` to make
|
||
|
|
projects easily found and added to an existing Python installation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:mod:`packaging`
|
||
|
|
A library reference for developers of packaging tools wanting to use
|
||
|
|
standalone building blocks like :mod:`~packaging.version` or
|
||
|
|
:mod:`~packaging.metadata`, or extend Packaging itself.
