I presume the intention of this is to have it end up as either 'win32' or 'win64', yes? >Also note that bdist_msi has 'win32' hard-coded in one place, >where a call to get_platform() would be more appropriate, but I'm assuming >that is a bug (ie, bdist_msi should use get_platform() regardless of the >outcome of this discussion about what get_platform() should return) Well, if it becomes possible to build msi's on other platforms, they're still going to target Windows. Currently you can build a bdist_wininst on Linux, for example, especially if it's only pure Python contents. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
