Distutils2 Documentation...

Greetings:
From this web page,
http://packages.python.org/Distutils2/distutils/setupscript.html,
#!/usr/bin/env python
from distutils2.core import setup, find_packages
setup(name='Distutils2', version='1.0', summary='Python Distribution Utilities', keywords=['packaging', 'distutils2'], author=u'Tarek Ziadé', author_email='tarek@ziade.org', home_page='http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2/wiki/Home', license='PSF', packages=find_packages())
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to import setup using Distutils2???

Hi,
The doc on packages.python.org is for distutils2 1.0a3 and is two years old. I need to remove it but haven’t found the time. The current docs live at docs.python.org, but not all of it is updated.
To get started in the meantime, please follow the directions I provided in my reply to your previous message on this list: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2012-March/018408.html
Regards

Dear Eric:
Thank you for the information once again!
I have bad tunnel vision and I am legally blind, so please forgive me...
Sincerely yours, Rob G. Healey

Dear Rob,
You’re of course excused. If we hadn’t let the docs get out of control we would have less confused users. I’ll do my best to find time.
Regards

You don't need or want (or have the ability) to do that. there is no setup() in distutils2. I would refer you to the last time you asked this question: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2012-March/018408.html Eric's answer stands: there is no setup.py. Make a setup.cfg. Read the docs on docs.python.org/dev.
