Note

A new documentation project, which will be merged into the Python documentation soon, covers creating, installing and distributing Python packages:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to Packaging (creating and distributing Python packages)

[briancurtin]

Can you say why?

[merwok]

The HHGP was an opinionated, distribute-centric user guide, which is now outdated and obsoleted by the upcoming Python packaging user documentation, which will cover more tools and be blessed by Nick Coghlan and the developers of packaging tools.

[merwok]

Also I don’t think we’ll ever have documentation for non-stdlib libs/tools in the standard docs, so the HHGP or new packaging user doc won’t «be merged into the Python documentation».

Fixed in r14798 of the site.
