[issue14946] packaging’s pysetup script should be named differently than distutils2’s pysetup
Alexis Metaireau ale...@notmyidea.org added the comment: Good catch, One solution would be to have the pysetup script name suffixed by the version of python is comes with. For instance, for python 3.3 it would be pysetup3.3 (that's how it is atm). This means that pysetup would point to pysetup3.3 after a fresh python install, but distutils2 could change this and propose a different version of pysetup. The 3.3 version would still be available but under pysetup3.3. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14946 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: I’m afraid that won’t work: depending on how python3 is installed, it may install both pysetup3.3 and pysetup3, so distutils2-python3 can’t use any of these names. Note that on Debian and probably other systems, two packages really cannot use the same file path without using some machinery; just overwriting something is not permitted. (On a related topic, I’m not sure distutils2 should ever install pysetup or pysetup3 without version number: contrary to e.g. a mail client where I don’t care about the version used, this is a version-specific program that should have a version number in its name.) The problem really is that when we talk about “the 3.3 version of pysetup” we may talk about the one that comes with packaging or with d2. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14946 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
