The setuplib package provides core functions for the query of meta information and installation repositories of Python packages. It provides query and filter options on the installed packages and the available information, while displaying the result data in various formats, e.g. as table, list, or JSON, XML, YAML, CSV, etc.

The provided commands and extension points integrate seamless into the standard setuptools and/or distutils. The setuplib is member of the group setuplib of extension components for the common setup.py installer.

The targeted users are mainly developers, advanced users, and system administrators.
