title: Python Help with "from distutils.core import setup"
body: <p>I keep seeing this kind of code a lot in python setup.py files.</p>
  
  <pre><code>from distutils.core import setup
  setup(
          name            = 'SOMETHINGHERE',
          version         = 'SOMETHINGHERE',
          py_modules      = ['SOMETHINGHERE'],
          author          = 'SOMETHINGHERE',
          author_email    = 'SOMETHINGHERE',
          url             = 'http://www.example.com',
          description     = 'SOMETHINGHERE',
          )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What exactly does it mean? How does it work? I'm trying to understand the code.
  ps: sorry about my poor english xP</p>
