My current implementation idea is to unpack the tarball and use the
egg-metadata to figure out what the "egg" name of the tarball should be.
Running "setup.py --name --version" will dump out the name and version,
whether you use distutils or setuptools. If you want a
setuptools-compatible name and version, you'll need to postprocess those
strings with pkg_resources.safe_name() and safe_version(), then escape
them with to_filename() if you're using them as components of a sdist or
egg filename.
There are two issues with relying on 'setup.py --<field>' to find the
value of <field>:
1) setuptools prints warning messages to stdout:
http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue73 (does `safe_name()` handle this?)
2) Some packages in PyPI prints unexpected messages depending upon the
environment (even if you pass --name to setup.py). How do you suggest to
find name/version under such cases?
