Hi Lennart, Sorry for my late posting...
I'm working on a gui python package manager on sourceforge... > Executive summary: > I have catch 22 problems in finishing the setuptools port to Python 3, > and unless somebody can come up with alternatives, I may rip out > setuptools dependency on itself completely, and only depend on > distutils. ... It's not easy I agree... I am a GUI junky myself... :-) I don't use chainsaw (code) unless i need to I'm trying out all the installers on one machine... einstaller won't install because I already installed setuptools.... ez_installer won't de-install setuptools... pip doesn't want to go on either... I will figure it out... I am sympathising saying this package stuff is hard going.... > I don't have a good solution to this, unless we can drop setuptools > dependency on setuptools completely, and just use plain distutils for > installing and testing setuptools. This will mean no more setuptools > source eggs, but then I don't see the purpose of those, really. > Arguments for not doing this and alternative solutions are highly > welcome. :-) me too _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
