Description: ======================
|
|
|
|
|
This is not Setuptools
|

|

======================

|

|
|
|
|
This is the ``zetuptoolz`` fork of setuptools, which is used to install
|
|
|
|
|
`Tahoe-LAFS`_. It has a `darcs source repository`_ and `issue tracker`_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a list of differences between this fork and setuptools, see zetuptoolz.txt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that, to avoid interfering with any setuptools installation, zetuptoolz
|
|
|
|
|
does not install a script called ``easy_install``. There is an ``easy_install_z``
|
|
|
|
|
script, but that is intended only for developers to test differences between
|
|
|
|
|
setuptools and zetuptoolz.

Here are some of the available manuals, tutorials, and other resources for
|
|
|
|
|
learning about Setuptools, Python Eggs, and EasyInstall:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `The EasyInstall user's guide and reference manual`_
|
|
|
|
|
* `The setuptools Developer's Guide`_
|
|
|
|
|
* `The pkg_resources API reference`_
|
|
|
|
|
* `Package Compatibility Notes`_ (user-maintained)
|
|
|
|
|
* `The Internal Structure of Python Eggs`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Questions, comments, and bug reports should be directed to the `distutils-sig
|
|
|
|
|
mailing list`_. If you have written (or know of) any tutorials, documentation,
|
|
|
|
|
plug-ins, or other resources for setuptools users, please let us know about
|
|
|
|
|
them there, so this reference list can be updated. If you have working,
|
|
|
|
|
*tested* patches to correct problems or add features, you may submit them to
|
|
|
|
|
the `setuptools bug tracker`_.

|
* The original design for the ``.egg`` format and the ``pkg_resources`` API was
|
|
|
|
|
co-created by Phillip Eby and Bob Ippolito. Bob also implemented the first
|
|
|
|
|
version of ``pkg_resources``, and supplied the OS X operating system version
|
|
|
|
|
compatibility algorithm.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Ian Bicking implemented many early "creature comfort" features of
|
|
|
|
|
easy_install, including support for downloading via Sourceforge and
|
|
|
|
|
Subversion repositories. Ian's comments on the Web-SIG about WSGI
|
|
|
|
|
application deployment also inspired the concept of "entry points" in eggs,
|
|
|
|
|
and he has given talks at PyCon and elsewhere to inform and educate the
|
|
|
|
|
community about eggs and setuptools.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Jim Fulton contributed time and effort to build automated tests of various
|
|
|
|
|
aspects of ``easy_install``, and supplied the doctests for the command-line
|
|
|
|
|
``.exe`` wrappers on Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Phillip J. Eby is the principal author and maintainer of setuptools, and
|
|
|
|
|
first proposed the idea of an importable binary distribution format for
|
|
|
|
|
Python application plug-ins.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Significant parts of the implementation of setuptools were funded by the Open
|
|
|
|
|
Source Applications Foundation, to provide a plug-in infrastructure for the
|
|
|
|
|
Chandler PIM application. In addition, many OSAF staffers (such as Mike
|
|
|
|
|
"Code Bear" Taylor) contributed their time and stress as guinea pigs for the
|
|
|
|
|
use of eggs and setuptools, even before eggs were "cool". (Thanks, guys!)
