setuptools allow you to more easily build and distribute Python packages,
especially ones that have dependencies on other packages.
-
-Packages built and distributed using setuptools look to the user like ordinary
-Python packages based on the distutils. Your users don't need to install or
-even know about setuptools in order to use them, and you don't have to include
-the entire setuptools package in your distributions. By including just a single
-bootstrap module (an 8K .py file), your package will automatically download and
-install setuptools if the user is building your package from source and doesn't
-have a suitable version already installed.
