+Notes for developers
+====================
+
+- Distutils2 runs on Python from 2.4 to 3.2 (3.x not implemented yet),
+ so make sure you don't use a syntax that doesn't work under
+ one of these Python versions.
+
+- Always run tests.sh before you push a change. This implies
+ that you have all Python versions installed from 2.4 to 2.7.
+
+- With Python 2.4, if you want to run tests with runtests.py, or run
+ just one test directly, be sure to run python2.4 setup.py build_ext
+ first, else tests won't find _hashlib or _md5. When using tests.sh,
+ build_ext is automatically done.
