http://hg.python.org/distutils2/rev/595d13b59b39 changeset: 1130:595d13b59b39 user: Éric Araujo <merwok@netwok.org> date: Mon Aug 29 00:17:29 2011 +0200 summary: Improve “pysetup create” help messages. The example version numbers were invalid and “package” was misused. I also made lines shorter, replaced “e-mail” with “email” (more common in the stdlib and I believe in English generally) and tweaked a few other things. files: distutils2/create.py | 37 ++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/distutils2/create.py b/distutils2/create.py --- a/distutils2/create.py +++ b/distutils2/create.py @@ -41,35 +41,36 @@ _helptext = { 'name': ''' -The name of the program to be packaged, usually a single word composed -of lower-case characters such as "python", "sqlalchemy", or "CherryPy". +The name of the project to be packaged, usually a single word composed +of lower-case characters such as "zope.interface", "sqlalchemy" or +"CherryPy".
