The goal is to provide an install_egg_info command that can be configured without the need to replace/override it. I guess, this can be done by taking part of the code done in setuptools install_egg_info and provide a way for setuptools or another project to add more files through configuration. Now, if entry_points were added in Distutils, things would be more simple to extend every command I guess. (like you have pointed) That's some other work we started here : http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/PluginSystem But my mail to python-ideas about adding a plugin system into Python didn't get a lot of interest. Maybe this straight-forward sentence would work better: "let's add entry points in Distutils" ?
