Let me quote.... .egg-info becomes a directory ============================= The first change would be to make `.egg-info` a directory and let it hold the `PKG-INFO` file built by the `write_pkg_file` method of the `Distribution` class in Distutils. This change will not impact Python itself, because `egg-info` files are not used anywhere yet in the standard library besides Distutils. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
