  分发 Python 模块
     最新的模块分发文档

本文档从模块开发人员的角度描述了 Python Distribution Utilities（
“Distutils” ，描述了如何使用 Distutils 轻松地为更广泛的受众提供 Python
模块和扩展，而构建/发布/安装机制的开销很小。

注解:

  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 in the Python Packaging
  User Guide for more information.
