IIUC, as far as distutils goes, the metadata shows-up in the sdist, but not in site-packages, so it isn't really useful for introspecting an installation. The ability to specify requirements is virtually undocumented and isn't used in practice to my knowledge. Setuptools makes both pieces of information introspectable for packages it installs (but provides its own way of specifying requirements). _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
