Dear Rob,

You’re of course excused.  If we hadn’t let the docs get out of control 
we would have less confused users.  I’ll do my best to find time.

Hi,

The doc on packages.python.org is for distutils2 1.0a3 and is two years 
old.  I need to remove it but haven’t found the time.  The current docs 
live at docs.python.org, but not all of it is updated.


To get started in the meantime, please follow the directions I provided 
in my reply to your previous message on this list:

You don't need or want (or have the ability) to do that.  there is no
setup() in distutils2.  I would refer you to the last time you asked
this question: 
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2012-March/018408.html
 Eric's answer stands: there is no setup.py.  Make a setup.cfg.  Read
the docs on docs.python.org/dev.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from distutils2.core import setup, find_packages

setup(name='Distutils2',
  version='1.0',
  summary='Python Distribution Utilities',
  keywords=['packaging', 'distutils2'],
  author=u'Tarek Ziadé',
  author_email='ta...@ziade.org',

Hello,

I understand your frustration, but I think nonetheless that it’s not the
best attitude one can have when addressing a mailing list where people
volunteer help.  Why apologize for something when you can just avoid
doing the thing?  :)

By the way I hope you have seen the warning that distutils2 is not ready
for use in critical situations yet.

> I have DistUtils2 1.0a4 installed already, but this is my first time
> trying to use it...
The documentation lives at http://docs.python.org/dev/packaging (just
replace packaging with distutils2 in your imports and the rest of the
code is the same).  It is however incomplete, as you’ve found out, and I
am sorry for this.  You’re the second person to report this to the
mailing list in a few days (see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2012-March/018381.html).

I am working on a huge doc patch, but in the meantime here are the
instructions for getting started:

- write a setup.cfg file following the rules described in the document
http://docs.python.org/dev/packaging/setupcfg
- replace every “python setup.py x” you see in the docs with “pysetup run x”
- see ”pysetup --help” and “pysetup run --help”

Hope this helps,

Regards
