Hi,
I am pleased to announce the release 0.0.3 for Bento, the pythonic
packaging solution.
Bento aims at being an alternative to distutils/setuptools/distribute,
based on a static metadata file format. Existing packages can be
converted from setup.py to bento format automatically.

Wherease the 0.0.2 release was mostly about getting the
simplest-still-useful subset of distutils features, this new release
adds quite a few significant features:
- Add hooks to customize arbitrary stages in bento (there is a
hackish example which shows how to use waf to build a simple C
extension). The API for this is still in flux, though
- Parallel and reliable build of C extensions through yaku build
library.
- One file distribution: no need for your users to install any new
packages, just include one single file into your package to
build with bento
- Improved documentation
- 2.4 -> 2.7 support, tested on linux/windows/mac os x
You can download bento on github: http://github.com/cournape/Bento,
discussion on bento design/features happens on numpy mailing list
cheers,
David
