-pysetuptools (a collection of enhancements to Python distutils)
-Note: the name of the source package is 'setuptools'. Since 'setuptools'
-is such a generic name, this package uses the name 'pysetuptools' to avoid
-any potential future conflicts. The actual installation paths and file
-names are not modified in any way.
-
-setuptools allow you to more easily build and distribute Python packages,
-especially ones that have dependencies on other packages.
-
-Packages built and distributed using setuptools look to the user like ordinary
-Python packages based on the distutils. Your users don't need to install or
-even know about setuptools in order to use them, and you don't have to include
-the entire setuptools package in your distributions. By including just a single
-bootstrap module (an 8K .py file), your package will automatically download and
-install setuptools if the user is building your package from source and doesn't
-have a suitable version already installed.
