Also, for the whole distutils-sig, I don't understand all the fuss around this much maligned feature - there are plenty of options to manage build-time dependencies and tasks - one certainly doesn't need to shoehorn <https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/setup.py> a full blown build system into setup.py - there's make, invoke, shell scripts and plenty of other systems that can do that just fine. Using too many tools is bad, but misusing tools is far worse. Thanks, -- Ionel Cristian Mărieș, http://blog.ionelmc.ro
