The up to date module distribution documentations
This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities ("Distutils") from
the module developer's point of view, describing how to use the Distutils to
make Python modules and extensions easily available to a wider audience with
very little overhead for build/release/install mechanics.
.. note::
This guide only covers the basic tools for building and distributing
extensions that are provided as part of this version of Python. Third party
tools offer easier to use and more secure alternatives. Refer to the `quick
recommendations section <https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/current/>`__
in the Python Packaging User Guide for more information.
