There's another point I was thinking about in PEP 376 What about dropping the 'egg' part in 'PROJECT.egg-info' ? and replace it with
'PROJECT.info' (and make the 2.7 version compatible with PROJECT.egg-info ) I know it's a minor change, but it seems that a lot of people are confused with this, when they don't know what is an egg, etc. Tarek On Thu, Apr 30, 2009 at 9:34 AM, Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I have reworked the PEP a little bit with people feedback. > > It needs more feedback : > http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk/pep-0376.txt > > - install/uninstall script > > I think the best solution is not to provide an install script since > third-party tool do it.
