Yes, as long as the metadata are in a python file, you're in trouble
to automate anything like you are mentioning.
But a static metadata system needs to provide a registery mechanism,
so we can call some arbitrary code
when some metadata are generated at installation time for instance.
I don't follow this at all. Why is arbitrary code needed?
I think what he means is that he doesn't like the way it is at the
moment and thinks that the version numbers and other metadata should
sit in a config file somewhere.
Then the setup.py can be generated from the metadata..
No, that's not what Tarek said at all, perhaps he can comment on why a
static metadata system needs to provide a registry mechanism so that
arbitrary code can be called?
cheers,
