Hello,
Besides the PEP-related features, I would like to add some tiny
features in Distutils for Python 2.7 before the alpha stage is over :
- a test command, that just uses the new unittest discovery to run
unittest-compatible tests.
- a new option for sdist called 'extra_files', that will allow to list
extra files to be included in the distribution. these
�files will not be installed by 'install', just be part of the
distribution.
Ooops forgot the third one, (which might lead to further discussions):
- a very basic pre/post commit hook for the install command.
Being able to run some code after install is done would certainly be
useful. A couple things I wonder about...
Can the packages that were just installed be imported in the post hook?
What kind of interaction would this have with the bdist installers?
It'd be a shame of things like bdist_rpm suffered when packages took
advantage of these hooks.
