Quick help for developers
-------------------------
To use Distribute in your package, the recommended way is to ship
`distribute_setup.py` alongside your `setup.py` script and call
it at the very begining of `setup.py` like this::
To create an egg which is compatible with Distribute, use the same
practice as with Setuptools, e.g.:
from distribute_setup import use_setuptools
use_setuptools()
{{{
from setuptools import setup
setup(...
)
}}}
Another way is to add ``Distribute`` in the ``install_requires`` option::
To use `pkg_resources` to access data files in the egg, you should
require the Setuptools distribution explicitly:
from setuptools import setup
{{{
from setuptools import setup
setup(...
install_requires=['distribute']
)
setup(...
install_requires=['setuptools']
)
}}}
Only if you need Distribute-specific functionality should you depend
on it explicitly. In this case, replace the Setuptools dependency:
{{{
from setuptools import setup
setup(...
install_requires=['distribute']
)
}}}
