Hi, > After the sprint and you release Distutils2-1.0a5, would you also > update the version_info too? If you import distutils2, and then > distutils2.version_info, you get a3 not a4? I forgot to update distutils2.__version__ when I cut my first release :) Now I will remember it.
> I will re-download Python-3.3.0a2 and re-install it without the > extra diff file... Yeah, editing a real installation to test things is fragile. Better use a Mercurial clone that is not installed and that lets you revert changes. Help is found at http://docs.python.org/devguide . > I am more than willing to do testing of the patch for you if you would > like? Is there a way for me to get svn or git access to the > developmental version of Distutils2? hg clone http://hg.python.org/distutils2 I haven’t finished my patch because I ended up fixing too many things at once: hooks need to add the project directory to sys.path, hooks errors should result in warnings but not stop all operation, and maybe another bug. I need to split that into smaller changes. Do you have a user account on bugs.python.org? Now that I know that you’re willing to test things or give your opinion as a user (thanks!), if you create an account it will makes it easy to add you to a bug discussion. > What would I do in Linux to add my directory to the permanent > $PYTHONPATH??? Many ways to do that, but it is not a correct solution here. When you run pysetup, it should put the project directory in sys.path without the user having to do anything (and with my patch it does). > Is there access to the bug tracker for simply Distutils2 only? I > would like to see it and start getting familiar with the Distutils2 > code??? The bug tracker has categories, called components, and there is one for d2: http://is.gd/mFZfqo . Some of the bugs are tagged “easy” to mean that they are good introductory bugs for people wanting to work on d2. I also intend to write more wiki pages or blog posts to explain how the codebase is laid out and internally works to reduce the bus factor of d2.
