| 3 | | [http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools setuptools] is a Python module that helps to compile, distribute and install Python packages by wrapping them into "egg"s. Eggs contain additional information to process dependencies, etc. Trac [TracPlugins plugins] can be packaged as eggs since [milestone:0.9]. Starting with [milestone:0.11] Trac itself can also be packaged using setuptools. |
