<title>distutils class</title>
<para>Distutils is a standard python system for building and installing
modules. The <emphasis>distutils</emphasis> class is used to automate the
building of python modules that use the distutils system.</para>
<para>Any python package that requires the standard python commands to build
and install is using the distutils system and should be able to use this
class:<screen>python setup.py build
python setup.py install</screen></para>
<para>The <emphasis>distutils</emphasis> class will perform the build and
install actions on the <command>setup.py</command> provided by the package,
as required for building distutils packages, including setting all the
required parameters for cross compiling. It willl also perform the following
actions:</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>Adds python-native to <command>DEPENDS</command> to ensure that
python is built and installed on the build host. This also ensure that
the version of python that is used during package creation matches the
version of python that will be installed on the target.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Adds python-core to <command>RDEPENDS</command> to ensure that the
python-core is installed when this module is installed. Note that you
need to manually add any other python module dependencies to
<command>RDEPENDS</command>.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>The following example from the <emphasis>moin</emphasis> recipe shows
how simple this can make a python package:<screen>DESCRIPTION = "A full fledged WikiWiki system written in Python"
LICENSE = "GPL"
SECTION = "base"
PRIORITY = "optional"
MAINTAINER = "Your name <yname@example.com>"
PR = "r1"
SRC_URI = "${SOURCEFORGE_MIRROR}/moin/moin-${PV}.tar.gz"
inherit distutils</screen>The header, source location and the inherit are all
that is required.</para>
