If you end up with confusing mix of egginfo directories and files, that's because for the packages that uses setuptools in their setup.py, it patches distutils and to creates its own egg-info format. >> So is PEP 376 going to be able to cope with the stuff I have installed >> at the moment?

On a system that uses only plain distutils distributions, it'll work. _______________________________________________ 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
