I'm a Python newcomer, and I'm trying to create a distribution, just for practice at this point. I'm using Windows 10. I have done the following: I created a simple function called simple_func() and saved in as simple_func.py in a directory called simple_func. Next I try to use the setup() function to create metadata in the same directory

from distutils.core import setup
setup(
name = 'simple_func',
version = '1.0.0',
author = 'me',
description= 'A simple function',
)

After I execute this, I expect to find two files in my simple_func folder: The original file and a file of metadata, but all I have is the original code module. What stupid mistake am I making?

  • Thanks. I think my whole question was a bit confused. I understand better now. The road from System/360 systems programming to the 21st century is not always easy! – Paul Gottlieb Feb 12 '17 at 00:37
