<p><a href="http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools">Setuptools</a> is the software that creates <a href="http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PythonEggs">.egg files</a>. It's an extension of the <a href="http://docs.python.org/lib/module-distutils.html"><code>distutils</code></a> package in the standard library.</p>

<p>The process involves creating a <code>setup.py</code> file, then  <code>python setup.py bdist_egg</code> creates an .egg package.</p>
