This would also allow us to specify library dependencies, etc. in the source files themselves (and track then transitively), so module_list could be almost entirely generated. First we just need to get something in and then we can work on automating setup.py piecemeal. I'll rebase it if anyone is willing to review it. As for packages, I see no reason to not auto-generate it. (Perhaps we could have an excludes parameter if need be.) > On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 12:40 AM, Nicolas M.
