Public bug reported: Binary package hint: python-setuptools
The .egg-info file in python-setuptools is named: /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/setuptools.egg-info Most .egg-info files are named something with their version number in it, such as: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/GnuPGInterface-0.3.2.egg-info /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/cups-1.0.egg-info /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/mercurial-1.1.2.egg-info /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/python_debian-0.1.12ubuntu2.egg-info /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/pyusb-0.4.1.egg-info I have written some code for the stdeb tool (http://github.com/astraw/stdeb/tree/master ) which parses the filenames in search of the version numbers, and this code works for all packages that I have tried except for setuptools. Also I know that a new version of distutils is being developed, and I think there was some discussion about the possibility that it could use stat to learn the version numbers of multiple packages at once by inspecting the filenames of their .egg-infos. I don't know if that is the plan for the new distutils, but having all Ubuntu packages be uniform in this way seems like it wouldn't hurt and might help. If python-setuptools needs to have a versionless .egg-info filename for some reason, then perhaps we could add a symlink from setuptools-0.6c9.egg-info to setuptools.egg- info? Thanks!
