I just hope my old packages will work as well as they worked. You can't ask everyone to repackage/adapt their existing stuff because of your whims. Nowodays, lot of packages use setuptools's namespaces, i want them to just work. At the moment, the only thing i see is that distribute break many things in many places without any sense of backward compatibility for 0.7. And the only answer we have is "go for the 0.6 branch/sandbox if you want compatibility, it will be maintained for years". That's not an answer, that's not viable. As a Python user, web developer, scientist, or whatever, you'll need stuff from both systems, you do not control the whole packages out there, and you wont surely have the time and the means to check that everything out there fit together. -- Cordialement, KiOrKY GPG Key FingerPrint: 0x1A1194B7681112AF
