Description
===========

Python's setuptools_ package provides a higher-level API for building Python
packages, integrating with the Cheeseshop_ and for building compact
distribution packages such as eggs_. By default, setuptools supports
Subversion_ and CVS_. The setuptools_bzr package extends this support to
projects maintained under the `Bazaar distributed revision control system`_.

.. _setuptools: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools
.. _Cheeseshop: http://pypi.python.org
.. _eggs: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs
.. _Subversion: http://subversion.tigris.org/
.. _CVS: http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/
.. _`Bazaar distributed revision control system`: http://bazaar-vcs.org


Usage
=====

Use the setuptools_bzr plugin by adding the following to your `setup()`
function::

setup_requires = [
'setuptools_bzr',
],

See this package's own `setup.py` file for an example. You must either have
bzrlib_ installed in your Python or access to the `bzr(1)` command line
program.
