1 """distutils.command.config
3 Implements the Distutils 'config' command, a (mostly) empty command class
4 that exists mainly to be sub-classed by specific module distributions and
5 applications. The idea is that while every "config" command is different,
6 at least they're all named the same, and users always see "config" in the
7 list of standard commands. Also, this is a good place to put common
8 configure-like tasks: "try to compile this C code", or "figure out where
9 this header file lives".
