I don't think setuptools version requirements are enough to ensure the integrity of all pieces of a complex system will work together. Figuring out a self-consistent set of packages to work together is something that is rather independent of any particular package, and Setuptools doesn't have a facility for that. But it does provide the tools to build that kind of facility, and egg-based installations provide the sufficient metadata to report on what has been built. So I think it is a step in the right direction. Integrating packages from a wide variety of sources is hard. -- Ian Bicking / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
