But the result is similar, and explicit imports should work too, so maybe registeries are just sugar on the top of something we first need to make work.
It's completely unnecessary sugar, if you ask me. I don't see what's bad about importing functionality you want to use. Where and how do you intend the registration to happen, anyway? Would it be done by the setup.py script? In that case I don't see how it saves you anything, since you would have to first import the thing you want to register anyway. Or are you envisaging that Pyrex or whatever tool is involved would somehow patch itself into distutils when you install it? I don't like that idea much, since it smacks of the kind of monkeypatching that setuptools is reviled for. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
