Update of /projects/cvsroot/distutils/examples
In directory kaluha:/tmp/cvs-serv7005

Modified Files:
	README.txt 
Log Message:
Mention the PyXML example setup script.
Mention that NumPy 15.2 and PyXML 0.5.3 actually *require* these
  example setup scripts to build with Distutils 0.8.
A few other wording tweaks.

  This directory contains example setup scripts to go with several popular
! Python module distributions: Numerical Python, mxDateTime, and PIL (the
! Python Imaging Library).  (Why these three?  Well, the Numerical Python
! example was originally done by Perry Stoll when he wrote the
! msvccompiler module, so I gleefuly stole and modified it.  The other two
! happened to be lying around on my hard drive when it came time to write
! some more examples, so here they are.)
  
  Trying out the example setup scripts is generally simple: just pick one,
! copy it into the top-level directory of the corresponding distribution
! as "setup.py", and run it like
  
     python setup.py build

! version distributed here is modified to work with the current Distutils
! (and simplified to assume that the Distutils are available).)

  A few caveats:
  
!   * The sample setup script for Numerical Python is provided mainly
!     for historical interest, as NumPy now uses the Distutils as its
!     native build/install mechanism.
  
    * For PIL, the example setup script builds and installs PIL in

  Finally, if you want to create a setup script for your own module
  distribution, a good starting would be "template_setup.py" in this
! directory.  Consult the USAGE file for details on just what every
! option means, or the three real-world examples if you just want
! a rough idea of what's going on.
