No, but one long term goal of distutils2 is to make setup.py optional, meaning that the commands will be run using for example a -m call that could look like this: $ python -m distutils2 run install And could take the project root path as an option : $ python -m distutils2 run install -p /here/is/the/project Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
