History

Greg Ward 379a02ffa9 Changed all paths in the INSTALL_SCHEMES dict to Unix syntax, and added 'convert_paths()' method to convert them all to the local syntax (backslash or colon or whatever) at the appropriate time. Added SCHEME_KEYS to get rid of one hard-coded list of attributes (in 'select_scheme()'). Default 'install_path_file' to true, and never set it false (it's just there in case some outsider somewhere wants to disable installation of the .pth file for whatever reason). Toned down the warning emitted when 'install_path_file' is false, since we no longer know why it might be false. Added 'warn_dir' flag to suppress warning when installing to a directory not in sys.path (again, we never set this false -- it's there for outsiders to use, specifically the "bdist_*" commands). Pulled the loop of 'change_root()' calls out to new method 'change_roots()'. Comment updates/deletions/additions.		2000-09-22 01:31:08 +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.
