Cool - thank you. Right now it looks like there is one edit (add PATH as a variable folk can depend on being set) and one undecided (metadata file format).
I've pushed a shim that permits having a setup.py for non-setuptools projects using solely the abstract interface to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools_shim and https://github.com/rbtcollins/setuptools_shim It depends on https://github.com/pypa/packaging/pull/50 - the test suite is hardcoded to locate that in ../packaging at the moment - but I believe that that will be merging soon, so it should be generally usable from there on out. I'd love it if someone put together a flit implementation of the abstract build system and checked that the shim does let pip work :). Theory and practice and all that. -Rob On 27 January 2016 at 14:08, Donald Stufft <don...@stufft.io> wrote: > As many know there has been an effort to get a generalized interface that a > build system can implement so that we can break the hard dependency on > setuptools that Python packaging currently has.
