Thank you kindly Tarek. I'll look into seeing how I can try to reduce overlap if you think that it's an issue. The problem for me is that under windows it's considered not good programming practice to build logic implicitly into section headers within a configuration file. So things like: [metadata:python_version == '2.4' or python_version == '2.5'] requires = bar Doesn't look at all good to me. It looks like code in a configuration file. I'm really against it. But hey - I'm biased. So for me, the overlap is not strong. Because I see my alternative as a more technically correct way to approach using configuration files. The sample code you provided on the other hand is very nice. Perphaps when you see my code you'll be as horrified at my code as I am at your configuration files. :-) David _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
