Version 0.3.7 of distlib has recently been released on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.
The main changes in this release are as follows: * Handle bare newlines when parsing metadata. * Use version comparison logic for python_full_version. * Fix shebang computation for source builds of Python. * Extract tarfiles more safely by incorporating tarfile filters. * Check for 'has_cert' attribute before using it. * Fix #200: Improve conformance to PEP440. * Fix #203: Handle parsing of export entries to allow script names such as "," or ",foo". A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker at [3].
