packaging doc status

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hello

what's the status about the doc ? I'd like to push it asap so we can
ask people to try out pysetup etc

if nothing has evolved I will push it as it is now and we can continue
in cpython

Cheers

I'll merge the doc tonight unless I get a word on this. The work can
continue in cpython

Cheers

Fellows,

I have finished my work on improving the structure and content of the
packaging docs for merging. I have pushed my changes to the old
conversion repo (it’s an unclean push that makes the repo have two
heads, but it does not matter as the repo is orphaned):
https://bitbucket.org/tarek/cpython/changeset/30c61d2acdbb and children.

(The bitbucket UI does not let you navigate changesets by children, so
pulling and using hg log or Tortoise to read the changes would be more
useful.)

I welcome any comment, question or request for change.

I asked on python-dev about the final layout of the docs but got no
response; my current idea is to replace the old distutils-based
“Installing Python Modules” and “Distributing Python Modules” by the
Packaging-based documents (respectively enduser/ and packaging/), and
add the API reference (from developer/) into Doc/library/packaging.*.

I’m especially satisfied with the API reference; I moved stuff from
other parts and extracted docstrings to put it in good shape. I deem
that the doc is in a correct state right now; when we push it, we can
use the bug tracker to dispatch the remaining work and make it good,
then great.

After review, I would like to request the privilege of adding the
documentation to the upstream CPython repo.

Regards

Please push it now, I am sure it's fine as it is now, and we can
improve it there if people have comments

Thanks for this work

Just to be clear: do a single push as "initial commit". We don't want
to keep any history of changesets :D

Cheers
