I've read the distutils documentation; it's not very helpful. I've also read the setuptools documentation, which is even less helpful since it assumes a thorough knowledge of distutils. I've also read the Debian Python policy, which doesn't mesh that well with either the distutils or setuptools understanding that I've gained. Presumably it *is* possible to take Python packages that use setuptools, and package them such that they conform with both Python practice and Debian Python policy. Is that incorrect? What packages in Debian can people recommend that use setuptools properly, and are packaged in accordance with the latest Debian Python policy? Or is it simply the case that no packages meet that description? -- \ "No wonder I'm all confused; one of my parents was a woman, the | `\ other was a man." -- Ashleigh Brilliant | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
