Well, I used setuptools unfortunately. The day I switched from svn to mercurial, people started to complain because my distribution had missing files. So I eventually switch to use MANIFEST.in, because package_data features were incomplete. So, I know exactly on my side why I don't want to be tighted to a VCS plugin. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
