I've tried to respond to this point twice.. but let me try again. : ) If I'm confused, please help me. aren't the "different resulting dependencies" non-python, non-pypi system dependencies? the dependencies the sdist would cover are the python/pypi dependencies, and they don't usually vary based on building extensions as for representing non-python distro dependencies and build variances, I mentioned before that PEP426 extensions might be used to cover that, but that's still an open question I think.. --Marcus
