General distribution of Python code is typically done using the Distutils package from the standard library which can produce source and binary distributions which depend on end-users having Python already installed on their computer. Such distributions are frequently available as operating system packages (a more general form of the term "package" referring not just to code but also to documentation, resources and other things) and can be installed using the package management infrastructure employed by various operating systems - see "System Package Distribution" below.
