While this is not happening often, a module or package can be installed by two distributions. (or "package distribution", or "parcels" ;) ). > Considering PEP 376 I apologize for not being able to read it > completely, but as with many PEPs there is one major drawback - no use > cases. MMmm. I thought these two use cases where obvious: - uninstall distributions - query installed distributions (like what setuptools provides) Of course patches are welcome to make it more understandable. > In the context of my problem I can not see how PEP 376 help with > Python packages installed into PYTHONPATH, .eggs that present in > PYTHONPATH and modules without distribution information.

The code that will be developed for this PEP, as Setutpools is doing, will make it work against sys.path, and let you browse all installed/reachable distributions and their files. Meaning that you will be able to rebuild the info you need. (and make it work on arbitrary locations if required) the RECORD file in PEP 376 replaces SOURCES.txt, so you will be able to use a similar approach than Trac but through APIs > > BTW, there is "fils" typo in PEP 376.
