12o Intro
13  Pybackpack uses distutils for its standard installation procedure so the
14  setup.py script provides installation routines. Note that it doesn't provide
15  uninstallation routines. If you require uninstallation and upgrade handling,
16  that's what package managers are for. Consider using one.

18o Installation
19  To install pybackpack to the default place on your system, run as root:
20
21     ./setup.py install

23  If you wish to install it to a different root or prefix (e.g.
24  --prefix=/usr/local) see ./setup.py install --help for options.
