| There are a couple of chapters about implementing a command in distutils docs that should be linked together. http://docs.python.org/distutils/extending.html#extending-distutils should link to http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html#distutils.cmd.Command and the latter to http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html#creating-a-new-distutils-command (or merged). | ||

| Note for someone wanting to propose a patch: distutils is in the process of being improved and cleaned up as distutils2. Improving the documentation is part of the process. Adding cross-links in the existing docs is okay, but I’d recommend against using too much time for distutils. For example, merging sections or doing other significant work would be IMO (which is only one opinion) time better spent on something else. | ||

| Eric, think about people who will be porting old code from distutils. They need to understand the behavior of distutils even if you'd like to force them to rewrite the logic for distutils2 from scratch. | ||
