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

! collection because it's another useful example, and because
! incompatibilities in the Distutils broke Andrew's setup script; the
! 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

A few caveats:
! * The example setup scripts for Numerical Python and PyXML are

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.
