I'm just saying that I prefer a setup.py without too many Python-version-specific differences, since it would look pretty silly to install a wheel of nose generated on Python 3.2 on Python 3.3 and have the wrong version suffix on the scripts. I like the plainly named scripts without version suffixes. _______________________________________________ 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
