pymake Explained
===============
pymake is a Python module/script for converting a Setup file into a
rather barebones but functional Makefile. pymake differs from
makesetup in that it relies only on a Setup file, not on Makefile.pre
or any other such template files (plus pymake is written in python,
not sh :)

I expect pymake to be useful when compiling dynamically loaded
third-party modules distributed with Setup files. pymake allows one to
delete a Python build tree yet still compile such modules without
much/any Makefile hacking. If you are not building a dynamically
loaded module, then you will need the Python build tree anyway and
pymake will not be of any/much use to you.


How to use pymake
==================
pymake may be used either as a script or as a module (although I
haven't tried the latter).

Usage: pymake.py [<Setup> [<Makefile>]]
       Setup defaults to `Setup'
       Makefile defaults to stdout


How to Modify pymake
====================
If you want to change the output of pymake, you should look at the doc
strings and possibly the comments in the code.
