So I guess I didn't send out enough notices since January about each of the 5 betas and the release candidate begging everyone to test with the 3.7 pre-releases to find and discuss potentially avoidable incompatibilities? :) > I think it will be prudent to get this command back in Python 3.7.1.

If you want to pursue it, I think the best thing to do would be to bring up the issue on the distutils-sig mailing list where the change probably should have been discussed first if it wasn't and also reopen https://bugs.python.org/issue29218. AFAIK, the removal hasn't come up as a problem before in the nearly 18 months since the change was first merged into the feature branch. -- Ned Deily n...@python.org -- [] _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
