I've been a somewhat confused bystander in this thread for a while, and for what it's worth, I think Nathaniel is exactly right on these points: 1. In-place vs. out-of place and sdist/wheel consistency are orthogonal issues. 2. Sdist/wheel consistency should be an implied goal that goes without saying in all cases. Even if a backend can't always guarantee it, it should make a best effort. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
