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. .. contents:: **Table of Contents** |
