Eby +Author-email: peak@eby-sarna.com +License: PSF or ZPL +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 + + +Keywords: CPAN PyPI distutils eggs package management +Platform: UNKNOWN +Classifier: Development Status :: 3 - Alpha +Classifier: Intended Audience :: Developers +Classifier: License :: OSI Approved :: Python Software Foundation License +Classifier: License :: OSI Approved :: Zope Public License +Classifier: Operating System :: OS Independent +Classifier: Programming Language :: Python +Classifier: Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules +Classifier: Topic :: System :: Archiving :: Packaging +Classifier: Topic :: System :: Systems Administration +Classifier: Topic :: Utilities |
