That doesn't prove Distutils can't evolve. That just shows that numpy worked on its side. If the Numpy projects made some refactoring/improvement, why the project didn't try to push it back in Distutils itself ? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
