FTR, I have done this in the past in a patch and I had many problems, like the one you mentioned, but also because distutils is used by Python when the intrepreter starts, and fails because of the "import logging" chain Notice that at this point, we won't backport anything but bugfixes in distutils. > > _______________________________________________ > Distutils-SIG maillist - distutils-...@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
