        I'm just getting tired having to talk to
        five projects just to make a single change to the build
        infrastructure
        available to the Python community.


    The very best hope of resolving that particular problem is
    distutils2. :-)

    distutils2 is *already* available to the Python community, and
    whether or not there is a fixed release date it will have betas
    and then a 1.0 release in the foreseeable future. The team working
    on it has made an enormous amount of progress. We're much better
    off as a development community putting our support and energy into
    distutils2 rather than pining for evolution of distutils.


Sure. But today (before 3.2b1) we want to merge PEP3149 and PEP384;
they change the paths and filenames used by python.
Either we modify distutils to comply with the new names,
or defer these PEPs until distutils2 is ready.

Or put support for them into distutils2 now?

Michael
