I'm happy to note that as of version 0.6.28 distutils (the setuptools fork) can now consume PEP 345 / 376 "Database of Installed Python Distributions" installations. Entry points could probably go in as an extension to the metadata, but at the moment they work as entry_points.txt with no changes and would be harmlessly ignored by "import packaging". _______________________________________________ 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
