STOP! This is not the first document you should read!
-This document assumes you have at least some passing familiarity with
-*using* setuptools, the ``pkg_resources`` module, and EasyInstall. It
-does not attempt to explain basic concepts like inter-project
-dependencies, nor does it contain detailed lexical syntax for most
-file formats. Neither does it explain concepts like "namespace
-packages" or "resources" in any detail, as all of these subjects are
-covered at length in the setuptools developer's guide and the
-``pkg_resources`` reference manual.
-
-Instead, this is **internal** documentation for how those concepts and
-features are *implemented* in concrete terms. It is intended for people
-who are working on the setuptools code base, who want to be able to
-troubleshoot setuptools problems, want to write code that reads the file
-formats involved, or want to otherwise tinker with setuptools-generated
-files and directories.
-
-Note, however, that these are all internal implementation details and
-are therefore subject to change; stick to the published API if you don't
-want to be responsible for keeping your code from breaking when
-setuptools changes. You have been warned.
