Greg Ward, I am reading the documentation you wrote titled "Distributing Python Modules". In section 2.1 (A Simple Example), I made a simple script named foo.py but I am not able to get it running following the steps you provided. The error I receive is listed below and I have attached the files. I am executing this in a console prompt using Windows XP as the Operating System. Could you please tell me what I am doing incorrectly? 2.1 A Simple Example foo.py # A setup script. # from distutils.core import setup setup(name="foo", version="1.0", py_modules=["foo"]) If all you want to do is distribute a module called foo, contained in a file foo.py, then your setup script can be as simple as this: from distutils.core import setup setup(name="foo", version="1.0", py_modules=["foo"]) To create a source distribution for this module, you would create a setup script, Setup.py, containing the above code, and run: python setup.py sdist The following error is displayed: C:\Program Files\Python24>python setup.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 7, in ? py_modules=["foo"]) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\distutils\core.py", line 101, in setup _setup_distribution=dist=Klass(attrs) File "C:\Program Files\Python24\distutils\dist.py", line 130, in __init__settattr(self, method_name, getattr(self.metadata, method_name)) Attribute Error: Distribution Metadata instance has no attribute 'get___doc___' <> <> Thank you very much for your time.
