  - Issue #8233: When run as a script, py_compile.py optionally takes a single

    is read on demand and the named file is compiled immediately.  (Original

-Checking a package
-==================
-
-The ``check`` command allows you to verify if your package meta-data
-meet the minimum requirements to build a distribution.
-
-To run it, just call it using your :file:`setup.py` script. If something is
-missing, ``check`` will display a warning.
-
-Let's take an example with a simple script::
-
-    from distutils.core import setup
-
-    setup(name='foobar')
-
-Running the ``check`` command will display some warnings::
-
-    $ python setup.py check
-    running check
-    warning: check: missing required meta-data: version, url
-    warning: check: missing meta-data: either (author and author_email) or
-             (maintainer and maintainer_email) must be supplied
-
-
-If you use the reStructuredText syntax in the ``long_description`` field and
-`docutils <http://docutils.sourceforge.net/>`_ is installed you can check if
-the syntax is fine with the ``check`` command, using the ``restructuredtext``
-option.
-
-For example, if the :file:`setup.py` script is changed like this::
-
-    from distutils.core import setup
-
-    desc = """\
-    My description
-    =============
-
-    This is the description of the ``foobar`` package.
-    """
-
-    setup(name='foobar', version='1', author='tarek',
-        author_email='tarek@ziade.org',
-        url='http://example.com', long_description=desc)
-
-Where the long description is broken, ``check`` will be able to detect it
-by using the :mod:`docutils` parser::
-
-    $ pythontrunk setup.py check --restructuredtext
-    running check
-    warning: check: Title underline too short. (line 2)
-    warning: check: Could not finish the parsing.
-
-
-.. _reading-metadata:
-
-Reading the metadata
-====================
-
-The :func:`distutils.core.setup` function provides a command-line interface
-that allows you to query the metadata fields of a project through the
-:file:`setup.py` script of a given project::
-
-    $ python setup.py --name
-    distribute
-
-This call reads the ``name`` metadata by running the
-:func:`distutils.core.setup`  function. Although, when a source or binary
-distribution is created with Distutils, the metadata fields are written
-in a static file called :file:`PKG-INFO`. When a Distutils-based project is
-installed in Python, the :file:`PKG-INFO` file is copied alongside the modules
-and packages of the distribution under :file:`NAME-VERSION-pyX.X.egg-info`,
-where ``NAME`` is the name of the project, ``VERSION`` its version as defined
-in the Metadata, and ``pyX.X`` the major and minor version of Python like
-``2.7`` or ``3.2``.
-
-You can read back this static file, by using the
-:class:`distutils.dist.DistributionMetadata` class and its
-:func:`read_pkg_file` method::
-
-    >>> from distutils.dist import DistributionMetadata
-    >>> metadata = DistributionMetadata()
-    >>> metadata.read_pkg_file(open('distribute-0.6.8-py2.7.egg-info'))
-    >>> metadata.name
-    'distribute'
-    >>> metadata.version
-    '0.6.8'
-    >>> metadata.description
-    'Easily download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages'
-
-Notice that the class can also be instanciated with a metadata file path to
-loads its values::
-
-    >>> pkg_info_path = 'distribute-0.6.8-py2.7.egg-info'
-    >>> DistributionMetadata(pkg_info_path).name
-    'distribute'
