I've just checked in the completion of a pkg_resources API reference. In case you'd like to see the HTML version, or if SourceForge hasn't updated anonymous CVS yet, you can see it at: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources Keep in mind that only the API reference is completed, and it turned out to be a much denser, far more interconnected document than I imagined it would be. My plan is to write a short architecture overview and a tutorial/FAQ-style "developer's guide" to go with this, so that most people won't have to slog through the API reference just to learn how to use the basic features. But, I wanted to start by writing the reference section so that I'd know what stuff I could then leave out of those other guides. :) However, if your goal is to extend pkg_resources or setuptools in some way, create new distribution formats, support custom importers, or create package management tools, you will probably benefit greatly from taking the time to read the full API reference. (Especially since the API reference is less text to read than the pkg_resources source code!)
