It's easy enough to give right now: - pkgutil will gain all the API that are implementing PEP 376 -- a py2 version of this module that has them can be seen at http://hg.python.org/distutils2/file/tip/distutils2/_backport/pkgutil.py for the moment - sysconfig will need to have two things: - create via the Makefile a "_sysconfig" module, so the API stop to read data dynamically in pyconfig.h and Makefile at runtime - [to be validated-discussed] an easier way to configure the installation paths. the current plan is to use a sysconfig.cfg file that may be changed. This file will be global to Python, but also possibly local to a user or a project -- http://hg.python.org/distutils2/file/tip/distutils2/_backport/sysconfig.cfg - distutils2 will be converted to Py3 using 2to3, then included in Lib/ -- the code base is ready for this, besides a few spots. - distutils2 will continue to be released as a standalone project from 2.4 to 3.2. Probably by using 3to2, but I have not tried the tool yet.
