+Metadata-Version: 1.0
+Name: setuptools
+Version: 0.7a1dev-r45519
+Summary: Download, build, install, upgrade, and uninstall Python packages -- easily!

+Description: ``setuptools`` is a collection of enhancements to the Python ``distutils``
+ (for Python 2.3.5 and up on most platforms; 64-bit platforms require a minimum
+ of Python 2.4) that 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.
+
+ .. _bootstrap module: http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
+
+ Feature Highlights:
+
+ * Automatically find/download/install/upgrade dependencies at build time using
+ the `EasyInstall tool <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall>`_,
+ which supports downloading via HTTP, FTP, Subversion, and SourceForge, and
+ automatically scans web pages linked from PyPI to find download links. (It's
+ the closest thing to CPAN currently available for Python.)
+
+ * Create `Python Eggs <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs>`_ -
+ a single-file importable distribution format
+
+ * Include data files inside your package directories, where your code can
+ actually use them. (Python 2.4 distutils also supports this feature, but
+ setuptools provides the feature for Python 2.3 packages also, and supports
+ accessing data files in zipped packages too.)
+
+ * Automatically include all packages in your source tree, without listing them
+ individually in setup.py
+
+ * Automatically include all relevant files in your source distributions,
+ without needing to create a ``MANIFEST.in`` file, and without having to force
+ regeneration of the ``MANIFEST`` file when your source tree changes.
+
+ * Automatically generate wrapper scripts or Windows (console and GUI) .exe
+ files for any number of "main" functions in your project. (Note: this is not
+ a py2exe replacement; the .exe files rely on the local Python installation.)
+
+ * Transparent Pyrex support, so that your setup.py can list ``.pyx`` files and
+ still work even when the end-user doesn't have Pyrex installed (as long as
+ you include the Pyrex-generated C in your source distribution)
+
+ * Command aliases - create project-specific, per-user, or site-wide shortcut
+ names for commonly used commands and options
+
+ * PyPI upload support - upload your source distributions and eggs to PyPI
+
+ * Deploy your project in "development mode", such that it's available on
+ ``sys.path``, yet can still be edited directly from its source checkout.
+
+ * Easily extend the distutils with new commands or ``setup()`` arguments, and
+ distribute/reuse your extensions for multiple projects, without copying code.
+
+ * Create extensible applications and frameworks that automatically discover
+ extensions, using simple "entry points" declared in a project's setup script.
+
+ In addition to the PyPI downloads, the development version of ``setuptools``
+ is available from the `Python SVN sandbox`_, and in-development versions of the
+ `0.6 branch`_ are available as well.
+
+ .. _0.6 branch: http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/branches/setuptools-0.6/#egg=setuptools-dev06
+
+ .. _Python SVN sandbox: http://svn.python.org/projects/sandbox/trunk/setuptools/#egg=setuptools-dev
