The only module that needs to be imported to use the Distutils; provides
the 'setup' function (which must be called); the 'Distribution' class
(which may be subclassed if additional functionality is desired), and
the 'Command' class (which is used both internally by Distutils, and
may be subclassed by clients for still more flexibility)."""

def setup (**attrs):
    """The gateway to the Distutils: do everything your setup script
       needs to do, in a highly flexible and user-driven way.  Briefly:
       create a Distribution instance; parse the command-line, creating
       and customizing instances of the command class for each command
       found on the command-line; run each of those commands.

       The Distribution instance might be an instance of a class
       supplied via the 'distclass' keyword argument to 'setup'; if no
       such class is supplied, then the 'Distribution' class (also in
       this module) is instantiated.  All other arguments to 'setup'
       (except for 'cmdclass') are used to set attributes of the
       Distribution instance.

       The 'cmdclass' argument, if supplied, is a dictionary mapping
       command names to command classes.  Each command encountered on the
       command line will be turned into a command class, which is in turn
       instantiated; any class found in 'cmdclass' is used in place of the
       default, which is (for command 'foo_bar') class 'FooBar' in module
       'distutils.command.foo_bar'.  The command object must provide an
       'options' attribute which is a list of option specifiers for
       'distutils.fancy_getopt'.  Any command-line options between the
       current and the next command are used to set attributes in the
       current command object.

       When the entire command-line has been successfully parsed, calls the
       'run' method on each command object in turn.  This method will be
       driven entirely by the Distribution object (which each command
       object has a reference to, thanks to its constructor), and the
       command-specific options that became attributes of each command
       object."""

       Clients will almost never instantiate Distribution directly,
       unless the 'setup' function is totally inadequate to their needs.
       However, it is conceivable that a client might wish to subclass
       Distribution for some specialized purpose, and then pass the
       subclass to 'setup' as the 'distclass' keyword argument.  If so,
