This proposal would rule out namespace packages, in addition to being incompatible with existing distribution names. Note that package != distribution -- a distribution may contain zero or more packages (even top-level), *and* a single package (top-level or otherwise) may be spread over more than one distribution. Also note that this was true even with the distutils, long before setuptools existed. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
