Why that ? Can you detail ? On a system that uses only plain distutils
distributions, it'll work.
Paul's question, as I understood it, was whether pkgutil would handle
the existing .egg-info's. Your proposal, as I understood it, was
that pkgutil would not detect .egg-info's without a plugin of some
sort... and you've not proposed a way of loading such a thing, which
means that to use pkgutil with that plugin, an application would have
to know that the plugin exists and import it.
Unless you're planning to have a plugin registration facility (ala
entry points) so that plugins can be used without each application
needing to discover them on its own?
