Third party tools offer easier to use and more secure alternatives. Refer to the `quick recommendations section <https://packaging.python.org/guides/tool-recommendations/>`__ in the Python Packaging User Guide for more information. This document describes the Python Distribution Utilities ("Distutils") from the module developer's point of view, describing the underlying capabilities that ``setuptools`` builds on to allow Python developers to make Python modules and extensions readily available to a wider audience. .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 :numbered: introduction.rst setupscript.rst configfile.rst sourcedist.rst builtdist.rst examples.rst extending.rst commandref.rst apiref.rst
