What about creating a new library? It's been a giant PITA for me, especially figuring out which of the 4 major distribution tools to use.

- viraptor 13y agoThe latest one. There was only the brief period when setuptools/disttools were confusing as far as I remember. Now, you can just use d2to1 and the new distribute config format.
- lmm 13y agoSo what's it called? "distribute"?
- donaldstufft 13y agoYou should be using setuptools now. There's distutils which was the original one and is part of the standard library, setuptools which extends distutils and adds some very useful things like dependencies, then distribute split off from setuptools because of a number of reasons. Just recently distribute merged back into mainline setuptools and the distribute project is now done and it's maintainers have taken over setuptools. In the middle there was also distutils2/packaging which were attempts at replacing the entire thing but have since been abandoned for a number of reasons such as trying to replace the entire toolchain at once.
