Hello for PEP 376, I have one last fuzzy point.
http://svn.python.org/view/peps/trunk/pep-0376.txt?view=markup The "get_egg_info" api is currently based on scanning the whole sys.path. And since sys.path can be modified by people, so the algorithm is linear and can slow down when there are a lot of paths. I have a proposal: let's restrict the search for this API to site-package directories only. (directories added with site.addsitedir) People will be able to mark add any directory (like the per-user site-package directory - http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0370) This requires to add in site.py a registry to keep track of all directories added through site.addsitedir Any thoughts ? (In the meantime, I'll propose the inclusion of a sitedir list in site, in Python-ideas) ++ Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
