So, it seems it would be pretty trivial to do some refactoring of distutils itself to make the point we need to hook into more hookable. The heinous hack in Twisted is there because there are many points in distutils that say "are there any Extensions specified right now? Ok, then early-out"; but we want it to keep going until the point that it's created the Compiler and calls build_extensions, where we *actually* calculate what Extensions we need to call. The problem is that even if I make the necessary changes to distutils, it will be 6 years before I'm able to use them, unless I decide to package distutils *with* Twisted, which would be a huge PITA. -- Christopher Armstrong International Man of Twistery http://radix.twistedmatrix.com/ http://twistedmatrix.com/ http://canonical.com/ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
