Builds Mac OS X installer packages from distutils

Project description

bdist_mpkg is a distutils plugin that implements the bdist_mpkg command. The command builds a Mac OS X metapackage for use by Installer.app for easy GUI installation of Python modules, much like bdist_wininst.

It also comes with a bdist_mpkg script, which is a setup.py front-end that will allow you to easy build an installer metapackage from nearly any existing package that uses distutils.
