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.
