Bento 0.0.3 (ex-toydist), a pythonic packaging solution
Hi, I am pleased to announce the release 0.0.3 for Bento, the pythonic packaging solution. Bento aims at being an alternative to distutils/setuptools/distribute, based on a static metadata file format. Existing packages can be converted from setup.py to bento format automatically. http://cournape.github.com/Bento/ Wherease the 0.0.2 release was mostly about getting the simplest-still-useful subset of distutils features, this new release adds quite a few significant features: - Add hooks to customize arbitrary stages in bento (there is a hackish example which shows how to use waf to build a simple C extension). The API for this is still in flux, though - Parallel and reliable build of C extensions through yaku build library. - One file distribution: no need for your users to install any new packages, just include one single file into your package to build with bento - Improved documentation - 2.4 - 2.7 support, tested on linux/windows/mac os x You can download bento on github: http://github.com/cournape/Bento, discussion on bento design/features happens on numpy mailing list cheers, David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations/
