\subsection{Splitting the job up}
Running \code{setup.py install} builds and installs all modules in one
! fell swoop. If you prefer to work incrementally---especially useful if
! you want to customize the build process, or if things are going
! wrong---you can use the setup script to do one thing at a time. This is
particularly helpful when the build and install will be done by
different users---e.g., you might want to build a module distribution
