Wild idea: Distribute 0.7 includes a non 2to3 source tree that doesn't get installed. This would also solve the upgrade issue under Python 3, and serve as an early test for getting rid of 2to3. :-) That might then mean that Distribute 0.7 would end up only be pip ugradeable on Python 2.6 and later, but maybe that's OK? I certainly don't mind. :-) //Lennart _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
