\section{PEP 314: Metadata for Python Software Packages v1.1}
XXX describe this PEP.
distutils \function{setup()} now supports the \var{provides},
\var{requires}, \var{obsoletes} keywords.
Some simple dependency support was added to Distutils. The
\function{setup()} function now has \code{requires},\code{provides},
and \code{obsoletes}. When you build a source distribution using the
\code{sdist} command, the dependency information will be recorded in
the \file{PKG-INFO} file.
Another new keyword is \code{download_url}, which should be set to a
URL for the package's source code. This means it's now possible to
look up an entry in the package index, determine the dependencies for
a package, and download the required packages.
% XXX put example here
