This package contains a Distutils interface for building bhtree Python 
extension and creating a source distribution.
SWIG (version 1.3.20 or higher) is used for generating a C wrapper code
(can be downloaded from www.swig.org).

To build and install the extension:
	python2.4 setup.py install
This creates bhtreelib.py (python shadow classes) and
_bhtreelib.so  in build/lib.<platform_specifier>/bhtree . 
bhtree/Tests is copied to build/lib.<platform_specifier>/bhtree.
The bhtree package is then installed in 
sys.exec_prefix/lib/python2.4/site-packages.
To specify the install directory use --install-platlib option:
	python2.4 setup.py install --install-platlib=INSTALL_DIR

To build the extension only:
	python2.4 setup.py build
this will build bhtree python extension in build/lib.<platform_specifier>/bhtree.

To build the distribution:
	python2.4 setup.py sdist


Testing of the installed package:
	tester bhtree
