+
+This package is discussed in two separate chapters:

+
+.. seealso::
+
+   :ref:`distutils-index`
+      The manual for developers and packagers of Python modules.  This describes how
+      to prepare :mod:`distutils`\ -based packages so that they may be easily
+      installed into an existing Python installation.
+
+   :ref:`install-index`
+      An "administrators" manual which includes information on installing modules into
+      an existing Python installation. You do not need to be a Python programmer to
