Python Packaging The GNU Way With Pyconfigure

The GNU coding standards outline a robust and convenient method for packaging and installing software. These standards are intimately familiar to anyone who has installed software on a GNU system before: ./configure; make; make install. Python-based packages typically break away from this standard by using tools specific to the language, such as distutils. GNU pyconfigure makes it simpler to package Python software in a standards-compliant manner by providing convenient Autoconf macros and flexible templates, which are quickly and easily integrated into new and existing projects alike.
