A nice addition would be an API for managing the RECORD file. I would imagine functions to read/write the file (hiding the details of how to open the CSV file correctly in a cross-platform manner), functions to produce a list of the files installed for a distribution, and functions to validate (and maybe write) the hashes. If this would be useful, I'd be willing to write the code, although my API design skills aren't the best, so some advice on how the API should look would be nice :-) Paul _______________________________________________ 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
