Got it. https://bitbucket.org/dholth/distribute now includes the lazy email.Parser() import and lazily imports 'markerlib' to implement environment markers. BW compat should be easy as long as you don't use .dist-info directories in your Python 2.3.
It implements the Provides-Extra: proposal to compute dependencies for extras, important if you are converting existing packages to the 1.2 version of the metadata. Hopefully this is enough to convert a bunch of existing packages over to .dist-info and Metadata 1.2 to see how it goes, without having to affect setuptools users that much. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
