+
+The \module{distutils} package provides support for building and
+installing additional modules into a Python installation. The new
+modules may be either 100\%{}-pure Python, or may be extension modules
+written in C, or may be collections of Python packages which include
+modules coded in both Python and C.
+
+This package is discussed in two separate documents which are included
+in the Python documentation package. To learn about distributing new
+modules using the \module{distutils} facilities, read
+\citetitle[../dist/dist.html]{Distributing Python Modules}; this
+includes documentation needed to extend distutils. To learn
+about installing Python modules, whether or not the author made use of
+the \module{distutils} package, read
+\citetitle[../inst/inst.html]{Installing Python Modules}.
+
+

+ \seetitle[../dist/dist.html]{Distributing Python Modules}{The manual
+ for developers and packagers of Python modules. This
+ describes how to prepare \module{distutils}-based packages
+ so that they may be easily installed into an existing
+ Python installation.}
+
+ \seetitle[../inst/inst.html]{Installing Python Modules}{An
+ ``administrators'' manual which includes information on
+ installing modules into an existing Python installation.
+ You do not need to be a Python programmer to read this
+ manual.}
