No, it's a sometimes-requested feature that can't reasonably be implemented in setuptools 0.6. See this recent thread for more details: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-February/007253.html Interestingly, the numpy vs. Numeric (and/or numarray) use case is the specific pair of alternatives that's most often requested by people asking for this feature. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
