Specifically, I want to programmatically access the metadata that is held in the arguments to the ‘distutils.setup()’ call. Without, as you say, executing any Distutils command. I am not aware of any ‘distutils’ public functions that can do that, and reading <URL:http://docs.python.org/distutils/> again doesn't enlighten me. Would you be more specific about what these functions are? -- \ “Guaranteed to work throughout its useful life.” —packaging for | `\ clockwork toy, Hong Kong | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
