That remark was in response to Tony's seemingly *x-centric suggestion to use setup.py --format=gztar which would have presented some difficulties to a Windows-only person. Perhaps I should have festooned it with smileys. In any case it was nothing to do with the bug and nothing to do with you.

To me, your message read like it was saying that (distutils) producing a zip source distribution file without --format was a bug.

There are various tar/gzip applications available for Windows, e.g. Cygwin, gnuwin32. http://cygwin.com http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net http://www.gzip.org (2) error: invalid command 'upload' Using the files link alternative to 'upload', then (I thought that specifying 'upload' in my example would make the question clearer, since it spells out that I want to upload the dist, without saying that I will use the files link). =Tony.Meyer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Anyway, to cut a long story short, setup.py sdist --format=gztar did what it ought to, PyPI doesn't regard *.tar.gz as implying pr0n, and I was able to download it again and open it in WinZip (the normal Windows archive program).
