- -------------------------
- Development on Setuptools
- -------------------------
- Setuptools is maintained by the Python community under the Python Packaging
- Authority (PyPA) and led by Jason R. Coombs.
- This document describes the process by which Setuptools is developed.
- This document assumes the reader has some passing familiarity with
- *using* setuptools, the ``pkg_resources`` module, and EasyInstall. It
- does not attempt to explain basic concepts like inter-project
- dependencies, nor does it contain detailed lexical syntax for most
- file formats. Neither does it explain concepts like "namespace
- packages" or "resources" in any detail, as all of these subjects are
- covered at length in the setuptools developer's guide and the
- ``pkg_resources`` reference manual.
- Instead, this is **internal** documentation for how those concepts and
- features are *implemented* in concrete terms. It is intended for people
- who are working on the setuptools code base, who want to be able to
- troubleshoot setuptools problems, want to write code that reads the file
- formats involved, or want to otherwise tinker with setuptools-generated
- files and directories.
- Note, however, that these are all internal implementation details and
- are therefore subject to change; stick to the published API if you don't
- want to be responsible for keeping your code from breaking when
- setuptools changes. You have been warned.
