Personally, I think that would be helpful. I can think of three candidate places that might make sense: 1) right next to the egg as a pkg-1.0-py2.4.egg-record or something... 2) inside the installed egg as part of the egg-info as an installed_files.txt or some such... 3) in a "receipts" directory inside the install-dir The record would only be needed to allow uninstalling (so the std lib wouldn't need it). > I'm sure there are lots of use cases here, and I understand it gets > tricky with dependencies, but at the most basic level, I've seen several > people hose their Python installs or workingenvs with incompatible eggs > that they then try to remove. Yep. Especially on the bleeding edge of development... _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
