Agreed. I think there are a number of additional metadata fields which would be valuable, but which don't exist. Given that PEP 314 is close to being completely implemented, that's probably not the place to add them. I think a new PEP should be written to describe the new fields, and call that Metadata-Version 1.2. Some sort of Metadata-Encoding field should be included. There should also be a field for the version of Python that's required. -Fred -- Fred L.
