Glancing over the EggInfo, EggInfoDirectories, and EggInfoDirectory APIs, it might be interesting if these were able to match with the PEP 3119 interfaces (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3119/).
For example, the EggInfoDirectories has __iter__, append, clear and remove methods, but the source code comments list them as 'container APIs'. Technically though, that's an Iterable interface and a partial implementation of the MutableSequence interface. The EggInfoDirectories.get_egg_infos(project_name) is also suggestive of the Mapping interface - if this method was shortened from get_egg_infos() to just get(). Maybe it would be confusing if an EggInfoDirectories was a MutableSequence which could only have paths added to it, but returned an iterable of EggInfoDirectory, but could also be accessed as a Mapping where the keys are project names and those values are EggInfos ... but maybe something along those lines would work? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
