distlib is intended to target more than resource management, but it's not a
full-blown packaging system. Rather, it's intended to implement common pieces
of functionality needed by packaging systems in a hopefully non-controversial
and useful way.

Actually the BitBucket repo is more active and readthedocs has the latest docs,
but I do periodically update the above repo on hg.python.org.
