setup.py中的包是什么？

Question

我正在阅读 this article，它有这样的代码：

from distutils.core import setup

setup(name='Distutils',
      version='1.0',
      description='Python Distribution Utilities',
      author='Greg Ward',
      author_email='gward@python.net',
      url='https://www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/',
      packages=['distutils', 'distutils.command'],
     )

我想知道 packages 是什么。他们是folders/directories吗？还是一种文件？还是 zip 或 py 文件？

我们将不胜感激。

直接来自您自己的link。

(Relevant section)

The packages option tells the Distutils to process (build, distribute, install, etc.) all pure Python modules found in each package mentioned in the packages list.

...

Thus, when you say packages = ['foo'] in your setup script, you are promising that the Distutils will find a file foo/__init__.py
