OK -- that's more or less my thought -- if it's python that gets run, then you've got your config generator built in -- why not?
The difference is that the config generator only gets run once, when the config info needs to get produced. If the config file itself is executable, it needs to be run each time the config info gets *used* -- which could be by a tool for which running arbitrary python code is awkward or undesirable. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
