However, at least there would be One Obvious Way for those that do want to use a standard build system. Something that might help is if there were a way for distutils to use something external, such as a Makefile-based build process, as a component of the overall build process. Currently distutils likes to be in charge of everthing, which can be inconvenient. How well would setuptools or zc.build handle this sort of thing? -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
