class Command:
    """Abstract base class for defining command classes, the "worker bees"
       of the Distutils.  A useful analogy for command classes is to
       think of them as subroutines with local variables called
       "options".  The options are "declared" in 'initialize_options()'
       and "defined" (given their final values, aka "finalized") in
       'finalize_options()', both of which must be defined by every
       command class.  The distinction between the two is necessary
       because option values might come from the outside world (command
       line, option file, ...), and any options dependent on other
       options must be computed *after* these outside influences have
       been processed -- hence 'finalize_options()'.  The "body" of the
       subroutine, where it does all its work based on the values of its
       options, is the 'run()' method, which must also be implemented by
       every command class."""
