This is python packaging, I'm still trying to see why you'd need to read the config without python available.
Even if python is available, you might not want to run arbitrary code just to install a package. If a config file can contain executable code, then it can contain bugs. Debugging is something the developer of a package should have to do, not the user. In my experience, fixing someone else's buggy setup.py is about as much fun as pulling one's own teeth out with a blunt screwdriver. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
