something like that, but it would be even simpler : the installer option would be automatically added by setuptools when the 'install' command is called, with setuptools md5 marker. (since setuptools has its own install command) That said, maybe setuptools would decide to rely on distutils for uninstallation if its installation turns to be compatible with distutils'one , and not provide its own marker when you manually call 'install' like you showed. And easy_install would have its own marker maybe, if the way it installs stuff slighlty differs _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
