I understand that. But it must be possible to do that programatically in my code. I mean, "setup.py --long-description" obviously executes Python code, which I may be able to execute myself in my current interpreter session by importing and executing stuff from setuptools. Having to invoke another Python interpreter in a subshell because that's too complicated to do any other way is awful. jens -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkxYhIEACgkQRAx5nvEhZLLFqwCeNaScimdWCS3sNQv1QgmwuAr8 bR8AnA1+bcXsAdxuvaNP2AhUXD8S+8Qb =ZE+5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
