An sdist always has a single subdirectory in the archive's root directory, named for the package+version, and containing a PKG-INFO and setup.py (plus a bunch of other stuff). A bdist_dumb will not have such a subdirectory in the archive root; instead it will have one or more directories like /usr, /opt, /Program Files. Other bdist formats? Hard to say. _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
