If SCons replaced Distutils would SCons have to become part of Python? Is SCons ready for that? What do you do about the existing body 3rd party extensions that are already using Distutils?

I think a better question is what about Distutils hinders cross-compiler scenarios and how to we fix those deficiencies? -Chris _______________________________________________ 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
