The criteria for whether something "belongs" in Development or Libraries or Python or ... is admittedly arbitrary. As a general rule, if it could be either Libraries or Python, it's Python. Otherwise, pick one and we'll go from there... Signed-off-by: Robby Workman <rworkman@slackbuilds.org>

pysetuptools (a collection of enhancements to Python distutils)
|
|
Note: the name of the source package is 'setuptools'. Since 'setuptools'
|
|
is such a generic name, this package uses the name 'pysetuptools' to avoid
|
|
any potential future conflicts. The actual installation paths and file
|
|
names are not modified in any way.
|
|
|
|
setuptools 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.
