[Distutils] Re: CPAN functionality for python - requirements

John Lee grumbled about a lack of documentation for distutils, and

Erm - all I can see there that sound at all relevant are "Distributing
Python Modules" and "Installing Python Modules", both credited to Greg
Ward, and both in that <rant>infernally infuriating "one smidgeon of
text per HTML page" format (which is worse than useless, so far as I'm
concerned!)[1]</rant>.

Could you give a clearer reference, please?

..[1] or am I missing some (undocumented) trick of the trade which will
lead me to whole documents?
