Agreed that it should go to setuptools in order to support third-party packages. In general, those of us who ever touch distutils these days (basically just me?) are only really maintaining those parts necessary to build Python and its own modules. Since this doesn't impact that scenario, it's not going to get much attention until there's at least a PR and tests to review. ---------- versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
