Instead of trying to fix distutils, maybe it would be better to start afresh with a new package and a new name, then there wouldn't be any backwards-compatibility issues to hold it back. I'd like to see a different approach taken to the design altogether, something more along the lines of Scons. Maybe it could even be an extension of Scons. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
