There are other formats also. This distutils doc explain the "native" ones:

The PyPUG tells me to use setuptools. Now I feel on unsafe ground if I read docs from a tool I don't use (distutils). Let's see if setuptools has docs: https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/search.html?q=Build+Distribution+Format ... no matches found. What's wrong here? It seems that there are no docs for all supported bdist formats of setuptools. Is it too much to want something like this? Regards, Thomas Güttler -- http://www.thomas-guettler.de/

I don't understand why reading docs from a tool you're not using would make you "feel on unsafe ground". At worst the docs don't apply to you, at best they do, but only if you follow them. In any case, the first line of the document "Building and Distributing Packages with Setuptools" [1] reads: - "Setuptools is a collection of *enhancements* to the Python distutils...". So, if you're using setuptools, you are using (an enhanced) distutils. So, really, no reason to be scared of its documentation. [1] https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/setuptools.html Let's see if setuptools has docs:
https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/search.html?q=Build+Distribution+Format
... no matches found.
What's wrong here?

Is it too much to want something like this? No, but wanting won't make it happen. Contributing (or paying someone else to do it) will. Cheers, Leo
There are also third party things like freeze and py2app.
