Yes. The current setuptools 0.6c9 release claims to be compatible with Python 2.3 to 2.6. I'd like to maintain that same promise for the 0.6 release series. I don't see Python 3.x support as mandatory for these maintenance releases. It's a new feature which can go into a new major release. It's likely to be somewhat disruptive to do while retaining support for all older releases. >> and a 0.7.x branch that will work with Python 2.7/3.2 and 2.5/2.6/3.1 >> if the users install the Distutils backport. > > Sounds reasonable. +1 Hanno _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
