Back to your big picture, as I understood it, you were trying to avoid importing setuptools because you derive some distutils commands and you don't want to derive from the setuptools versions. And the --single-version-externally-managed was giving you problems because that's not supported by distutils.
But A) I can't see how this patch would address the issue of setuptools not being imported, because that still happens. And B) the patch as you sent it was incomplete, requiring more work on my part even to be able to get it to run without raising exceptions. So I'm not sure that I actually "get" what your patch does here. I attempted to do my best and have now started a branch for this patch and subsequent efforts. See http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/tree/gerry-reno . My testing on this issue has been based on the version in this branch. Please either submit any patches off the old-stable branch or extending this gerry-reno branch. -Andrew _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
