+
+.. The audience for this document includes people who don't know anything
+ about Python and aren't about to learn the language just in order to
+ install and maintain it for their users, i.e. system administrators.
+ Thus, I have to be sure to explain the basics at some point:
+ sys.path and PYTHONPATH at least. Should probably give pointers to
+ other docs on "import site", PYTHONSTARTUP, PYTHONHOME, etc.
+
+ Finally, it might be useful to include all the material from my "Care
+ and Feeding of a Python Installation" talk in here somewhere. Yow!
+
+.. topic:: Abstract
+
+ This document describes Packaging from the end-user's point of view: it
+ explains how to extend the functionality of a standard Python installation by
+ building and installing third-party Python modules and applications.
+
+
+This guide is split into a simple overview followed by a longer presentation of
+the :program:`pysetup` script, the Python package management tool used to
+build, distribute, search for, install, remove and list Python distributions.
+
+.. TODO integrate install and pysetup instead of duplicating

+ :ref:`packaging-index`
+ The manual for developers of Python projects who want to package and
+ distribute them. This describes how to use :mod:`packaging` to make
+ projects easily found and added to an existing Python installation.
+
+ :mod:`packaging`
+ A library reference for developers of packaging tools wanting to use
+ standalone building blocks like :mod:`~packaging.version` or
+ :mod:`~packaging.metadata`, or extend Packaging itself.
