The obvious question from a distutils person: Any plans to package the lib and publish it on PyPI? (Maybe with a more specific name.) Sure, will do (but I'd like to implement the missing features first). It seems very few edits would be needed to make the lib compatible with 3.x. What is

I think most of the response was targeted at the EGG-INFO meta-data format, not the information itself. My impression was otherwise: several posters clearly indicated that they don't want exposition of this information (in whatever form), as they expected it would hinder adoption of PEP 345.
