Hm. They're going to get a 0.0.0 version number. :( I suppose there could be an option to '--make-setup=version' that would let you automatically create a setup.py using that version number. But that seems rather hacky; I'd rather spend the effort writing a setup.py for the package in a local directory, then submitting it to the author as a patch. Or, if the package is orphaned, building a .egg and distributing it for others' benefit. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
