Yes, the documentation there is long on verbiage and short on
realistic examples. It is also hard to navigate, being one big page of
mostly-unfamilar concepts.

I suppose it doesn't help that I was never familiar with 'distutils'
before being convinced (in theory) that 'setuptools' was
better. setuptools leverages the existing distutils system and
knowledge -- but conversely, it seems to *depend* on that knowledge.

I'm also interested in this.
