You missed the point:
- to me dub is a pip like
but in python they split into 3 software
- a builder (setuptool and newer version)
- a package manager (pip)
- a package index (pypi)
This is better to me, people which do not care about pip and
other can to use only the builder.
End user to get their killer app working can use pip
with the same file setup.py they add many software level:
- end user do not care about standard path and want something
easy to use
- packager need to insert correctly the software inside OS
environment
With the json file for dub I think that is possible to get it
