Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: The devs probably choose to use distutils.Command as base class for maximum compatibility, but I suspect 99.99% of users use the setuptools integration (entry points https://github.com/pypa/wheel/blob/3a87ecebaba765475392ae2cdfa2a51cb78360e0/setup.py#L53-L54 ) rather that distutils integration (explicit cmd_class setting in setup.py or --command-packages on the command line)
I’m inclined to reject the special case in distutils and encourage you to send the patch to setuptools (a similar PR, not option 1 or 2). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32295> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
