I am trying to use and install RYPPL and am having a problem. I followed 
the instructions found at 'http://github.com/ryppl/ryppl'. When trying 
to run self_test.py, I get the error that there is no module named 
distutils2 which I did install successfully. Besides wanting to have a 
fix for this problem, is there any documentation or tutorial from the 
end users perspective. An example of how to create a new dll project, 
another dll project that depends upon the first dll project and finally 
an executable project that depends upon them both would be great. The 
problem is I am not an experienced Python programmer and as such don't 
know the best practices. To compound matters, most web documentation is 
on using PIP and disutils from the PHP programmer's perspective and not 
for a C++ programmer. Consequently users like me need help from you C++ 
and Python veterans using these individual and combined technologies. 
P.S. I have tried using Maven successfully for C++ but what it doesn't 
provide [well] is the distribution of source. While it can build source 
and handle dependencies, it distributes by default the deliverable 
results. Maybe the previous example could show using PIP and disutils 
with C++ and then how adding RYPPL ties them all together.
