bdist_mpkg is actually available on its own now, but I'm not sure adding it to distutils is a great idea. The current version is already moved over to setuptools, and I'm pretty close to adding egg support to it. I may even require that the Python bits of the installation package are eggs, as that would allow me to remove a bunch of code. Eggs mostly obsolete what bdist_mpkg is for, but it's also used to install things like documentation and example code, so I'm not going to drop it altogether. -bob _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
