Ah, distutils are distributed in the base package now, but not the 'config' subdirectory of a standard library's normal installation, which makes distutils a bit useless. I should go and file a bug, I guess. The reason why I did not do it so far, is that the fact that no one did tends to show that they really think distributing 'config' is not the "right" thing to do. A reasoning along the lines of: "this subdir contains include files, so it should go in the python-dev package". I'm not too interested in fighting this kind of preconception. A bientot, Armin. _______________________________________________ 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
