-Setuptools is a collection of enhancements to the Python distutils that allow
-you to more easily build and distribute Python packages, especially ones that
-have dependencies on other packages.
-
-This package also contains the runtime components of setuptools, necessary to
-execute the software that requires pkg_resources.py.
