Unfortunately if you author a pypi server I count you as "no one" for this exercise. :-P And the most useful requirements metadata is in a setuptools .txt file anyway. Once you start seeing sdists with a .dist-info directory instead of an .egg-info or nothing you'll just look for pymeta.json. Wheel has code to convert from .egg-info to the newer formats. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
