Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment: As Michael said. As a Linux user I prefer tar.gz (or tar.bz2 or tar.xz), but distutils should go with zip since it has better support everywhere.
It's true that tar supports lzma (although unfortunately there is still no lzma support bundled in the stdlib), but for most source distributions I don't think size is really critical. ---------- nosy: +pitrou _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6296> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
