Forced choice ? Not sure to understand that. The Packaging Ecosystem is currently evolving a lot because it's badly needed. Distribute will promote pip because it does want to focus on being that thin layer on the top of distutils. But it's an installer. you will be able to write your own once PEP 376 is settled (like PyPM might do) Please read this thread and all it answers for the motivations we have: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-October/092754.html Last, notice is written in stone, you both are very welcome to help us in the discussions, or in the sprints. Like the PEPs, the Distribute and Distutils development are a community process.
