Twisted does some interesting mangling of the build_ext process in order to support optional extensions, that are only determined at build time. I've been meaning to add a facility to do this in setuptools, but it's not done yet, and in any case Twisted would have to *use* that facility in order for it to work. I'm afraid Twisted isn't supportable by easy_install at the present time. When I do add support for optional extensions, I plan to look carefully at what Twisted is doing in order to make sure that the facility I add will be able to meet their needs. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
