[Python-Dev] Missing command line documentation for new tools (original) (raw)

The documentation does not currently provide end user guides for pysetup or pyvenv under http://docs.python.org/dev/using/index.html

This needs to be fixed before 3.3 is released. I've created the following issues as deferred blockers (since they don't need to be addressed before the alpha this week):

pysetup: http://bugs.python.org/issue14940 pyvenv: http://bugs.python.org/issue14939

As the standard library comes to include more directly executed tools, we really need to focus on keeping the Setup & Usage docs up to date. The fact we've been historically lax on that front is no excuse for perpetuating the problem for new additions.

Regards, Nick.
