Changed the exception-handling code in 'setup()' to re-raise exceptions
  if DEBUG is true.

attempt to verify the bold assertions in the documentation):
  * entries for the "root package" in 'package_dir' didn't work --
    fixed by improving the fall-through code in 'get_package_dir()'
  * __init__.py files weren't installed when modules-in-packages
    were listed individually (ie. in 'py_modules' in the setup script);
    fixed by making 'check_package()' return the name of the __init__
    file if it exists, and making 'find_modules()' add an entry to
    the module list for __init__ if applicable

Modified, proofread, and integrated for Python 1.6 by Barry Warsaw.

This patch adds a comment about quoting to the doc string,
and also checks that the 'flags' argument to the STORE command
is appropriately enclosed inside parentheses to avoid quoting.

  * 'first_line_re' loosened up
  * command description improved
  * replaced '_copy_files()' and '_adjust_files()' with one method
    that does everything, 'copy_scripts()' -- this should be more
    efficient than Bastian's version, should behave better in
    dry-run mode, and does timestamp dependency-checking

its 'scripts' attribute.

necessary to support it.

Details:
  - build command additionally calls build_scripts
  - build_scripts builds your scripts in 'build/scripts' and adjusts the
    first line if it begins with "#!" and ends with "python", optionally
    ending with commandline options (like -O, -t ...).  Adjusting means we
    write the current path to the Python interpreter in the first line.
  - install_scripts copies the scripts to the install_scripts dir
  - install_data copies your data_files in install_data. You can
    supply individual directories for your data_files:

    data_files = ['doc/info.txt', # copy this file in install_scripts dir
      ('testdata', ['a.dat', 'b.dat']), # copy these files in
                                        # install_scripts/testdata
      ('/etc', ['packagerc']),    # copy this in /etc. When --root is
                                  # given, copy this in rootdir/etc
    ]

    So you can use the --root option with absolute data paths.

often, ftp URLs hang in the final close.  Further analysis suggests
that this is because the close hook in addclosehook() calls the hook
before acually closing the connection.  The hook, in this case, waits
for the '226 Transfer complete' status from the server on the command
socket.  However, more and more ftp servers only send this status when
the data socket has actually been closed -- causing a deadlock.

The fix is simple: in addclosehook.close(), call addbase.close()
*before* calling the closehook.

now complete, but probably still not very helpful or friendly.

Note: two very large tables (of key names, and of character names) were
added; these tables format terribly, and need some reworking.

Lots of typo fixes (a bit too much cut-and-paste in this module)
Aliases removed: attr_on, attr_off, attr_set
Lowercased the names COLOR_PAIR and PAIR_NUMBER
#ifdef's for compiling on Solaris added (need to understand SYSV curses
    versions better and generalize this)
Bumped version number bumped to 1.6

Montanaro, handle execution of indented regions by inserting an "if
1:" in front of the block.  This better preserves things like triple
quoted strings and commented regions.  This patch resolves PR#264.

before setting it -- this will catch bad options (eg. typos) in config files.

dump the Distribution's 'command_options' dict after parsing config files,
and then after parsing the command line.

after all -- turns out it doesn't buy us much after all...

  * 'get_command_obj()' now sets command attributes based on
    the 'command_options' dictionary
  * some typos fixed
  * kludged 'parse_config_files()' to re-initialize the ConfigParser
    instance after each file, so we know for sure which config
    file each option comes form
  * added lots of handy debugging output

Typo:  "dictionairy" --> "dictionary" (twice).

initialized to None.

command-line parsing code, splitting it up into several methods (new
methods: '_parse_command_opts()', '_show_help()') and making it put options
into the 'command_options' dictionary rather than instantiating command
objects and putting them there.

Lots of other little changes:
  * merged 'find_command_class()' and 'create_command_obj()' and
    called the result 'get_command_class()'
  * renamed 'find_command_obj()' to 'get_command_obj()', and added
    command object creation and maintenance of the command object cache to
    its responsibilities (taken over from 'create_command_obj()')
  * parse config files one-at-a-time, so we can keep track of the
    filename for later error reporting
  * tweaked some help messages
  * fixed up many obsolete comments and docstrings

is no index.htm[l] file, and when it is called, it also spits out the
headers.  When an index.htm[l] file is present, the regular (file
access) path is followed.  Also, when the guessed content-type matches
text/*, open the file in text mode; otherwise in binary mode.

  objects, it now has method names.
Added three methods, 'has_lib()', 'has_scripts()', and 'has_data()'
  to determine if we need to run each of the three possible sub-commands.
Added 'get_sub_commands()' to take care of finding the methods named
  in 'sub_commands', running them, and interpreting the results to
  build a list of sub-commands that actually have to be run.
