History

Greg Ward 018cbb15c0 New release of the Windows installer from Thomas Heller. The known bug (bogus error message when an empty file is extracted) is fixed. Other changes: - The target-compile and target-optimize flags of bdist_wininst are gone. It is no longer possible to compile the python files during installation. - The zlib module is no longer required or used by bdist_wininst. - I moved the decompression/extraction code into a separate file (extract.c). - The installer stub is now compressed by UPX (see http://upx.tsx.org/). This reduces the size of the exe (and thus the overhead of the final installer program) from 40 kB to 16 kB. - The installer displays a more uptodate user wizard-like user interface, also containing a graphic: Just's Python Powered logo. (I could not convince myself to use one of the BeOpen logos). - The installation progress bar now moves correctly.		2000-08-26 02:40:10 +00:00

README

This directory contains only a subset of the Distutils, specifically the
Python modules in the 'distutils' and 'distutils.command' packages.
Technically, this is all you need to distribute and install Python modules
using the Distutils.  Most people will want some documentation and other
help, though.  Currently, everything can be found at the Distutils web page:

    http://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/

From there you can access the latest documentation, or download a standalone
Distutils release that includes all the code in this directory, plus
documentation, test scripts, examples, etc.

The Distutils documentation isn't yet part of the standard Python
documentation set, but will be soon.
