As long as the same thing is done inside a zipped wheel, duplication of the data is ok by me. (IOW, if it's a *build-time* step, not an install step.) Technically, though, it probably makes the most sense to do it when the machine-readable metadata is generated, in order to support in-place builds ala "setup.py develop" and "setup.py test". _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
