Hi Chris, David, Fred, Floris, Tarek, PJE, ... Everybody has been so helpful and I feel that I've now run out of things to discuss. I would like to invite everybody to make some sort of contribution to this, and in return we'll just keep your name as authors of the various bits/files. What I am trying to accomplish is a shell based install system for .EGG/Python packages, along with metadata driven installation. TSo basically getting all the good ideas that *everybody* has had into a cohesive (and real) collection. I'm calling for volounteers/co-owners to: - contribute utilities (say, convert existing setup.py files) - specify/design/code test cases (different platforms etc) - write sphinx documentation (rst) - create examples - critique The url is: https://bitbucket.org/djlyon/original-setup.py-with-metadata/ If we can complete it and have a working system by December, which I believe we can, we can find a new name and have a democratic vote on what that might be. Thank you everybody David _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
