Unfortunately, that's not an acceptable approach. sys.argv may have zero to do with the arguments being parsed: consider zc.buildout, for example, let alone setuptools' internal uses of easy_install. These are far from the only programs that internally invoke easy_install while running from a different command line. It might be better to fix distutils parsing so it detects duplicated options in general. If it can be done in a way that setuptools can monkeypatch the fix in, even better. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
