+This package is managed with the "setuptools" package management tool.  To
+build and install the package directly into your system, just run "python
+./setup.py install".  If you prefer to keep the package limited to a specific
+directory so that you can explicitly manage it (perhaps by using the "GNU
+stow") tool, then give it these arguments: "python ./setup.py install
+--prefix= --root=$specificdirectory".
