Since you are into comparing numbers, you might want to count the number of Zope plugins that are available on PyPI and its plugin system has been around much longer than setuptools has been. I don't think that proves anything, though.
Actually, some of the ones I found in the search using entry points *were* Zope, which, as I mentioned before, is increasingly moving away from the old approach in favor of entry points.
In any case, I am not advocating *setuptools* -- I'm advocating that if PEP 376 expands to add plugin support, that it do so with a file format and associated API based on that of entry points, so as to make migration of those ~187 modules and their associated plugins to distutils2 a little easier.
In other words, I'm trying to make it easier for people to move OFF of setuptools.
Crazy, I know, but there you go. ;-) _______________________________________________ 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
