Re: [Distutils] Which Build Distribution Formats do exist?

There are other formats also. This distutils doc explain the "native" ones:

The PyPUG tells me to use setuptools. Now I feel on unsafe ground if
I read docs from a tool I don't use (distutils).

Let's see if setuptools has docs: 
https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/search.html?q=Build+Distribution+Format

 ... no matches found.

What's wrong here?

It seems that there are no docs for all supported bdist formats of setuptools.

Is it too much to want something like this?

There are also third party things like freeze and py2app.

I don't understand why reading docs from a tool you're not using would make
you "feel on unsafe ground". At worst the docs don't apply to you, at best
they do, but only if you follow them.

In any case, the first line of the document "Building and Distributing
Packages with Setuptools" [1] reads:

 - "Setuptools is a collection of *enhancements* to the Python
distutils...".

So, if you're using setuptools, you are using (an enhanced) distutils. So,
really, no reason to be scared of its documentation.

Let's see if setuptools has docs:

No, but wanting won't make it happen. Contributing (or paying someone else
to do it) will.

Egg

by Wheel.

Which other Built Distribution formats do exist beside egg and wheel?
