It seems everyone has the memory of a goldfish here? Reintegrating useful third-party features, and generally improving distutils, was Tarek's original work on distutils, then distutils2 / packaging. (Yes, it's a pity it was shot down, since all we are left now are pie-in-the sky improvements that may happen 5 years down the road for the average user) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
