<p class=f>So you want to release a Python script, library, framework, or application. Excellent. The world needs more Python code.
<p>Python 3 comes with a packaging framework called Distutils. Distutils is many things: a build tool (for you), an installation tool (for your users), a package metadata format (for search engines), and more. It integrates with the <a href=http://pypi.python.org/>Python Package Index</a> (&#8220;PyPI&#8221;), a central repository for open source Python libraries.
<p class=f>Real artists ship. Or so says Steve Jobs. Do you want to release a Python script, library, framework, or application? Excellent. The world needs more Python code. Python 3 comes with a packaging framework called Distutils. Distutils is many things: a build tool (for you), an installation tool (for your users), a package metadata format (for search engines), and more. It integrates with the <a href=http://pypi.python.org/>Python Package Index</a> (&#8220;PyPI&#8221;), a central repository for open source Python libraries.
<p>All of these facets of Distutils center around the <i>setup script</i>, traditionally called <code>setup.py</code>. In fact, you&#8217;ve already seen several Distutils setup scripts in this book. You used Distutils to install <code>httplib2</code> in <a href=http-web-services.html#introducing-httplib2>HTTP Web Services</a> and again to install <code>chardet</code> in <a href=case-study-porting-chardet-to-python-3.html>Case Study: Porting <code>chardet</code> to Python 3</a>.
