Let me try to put this another way. Can we agree that it is part of the purpose of PyPI to serve as a repository for setuptools? I'd like to resolve this issue. If it isn't part of PyPI's purpose to serve as a repository for setuptools, then we'll build another system that *does* have that purpose. If it is part of the purpose to serve as a repository for setuptools, then we'll need to take various needs of setuptools into account. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
