The \module{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 documents which are included
|
||
|
|
in the Python documentation package. To learn about distributing new
|
||
|
|
modules using the \module{distutils} facilities, read
|
||
|
|
\citetitle[../dist/dist.html]{Distributing Python Modules}. To learn
|
||
|
|
about installing Python modules, whether or not the author made use of
|
||
|
|
the \module{distutils} package, read
|
||
|
|
\citetitle[../inst/inst.html]{Installing Python Modules}.
