I don't pretend to know it as well as you do. I've been working in software for over twenty years and I've seen many things but nothing really like distutils. I certainly couldn't maintain it the way you are doing. I have real trouble understanding it. > You have started some kind of "counter-PEP" to push another build > system, and I really doubt this is useful in any ways. You shouldn't take it personally that another person tried to submit a PEP. So many people helped me with my proposal on the mailing list - and I owe it to them to at least get their efforts taken into consideration as a PEP. In any case, if you feel strongly about this then I can revise my proposal so that it doesn't look like a proposal for a build system (it was for a metadata setup - not a build system). > Discussing new ideas is useful of course, .. The implication there is you don't want me to submit PEPs because they somehow counter your work. Well if that's the case I can be more careful in the future. There's plenty of things that I can write PEPs for now... A metadata install was just the first.. And to my knowledge, there still isn't a PEP about that. Right?
