I can't speak for PyPI or pip, but not a lot of stuff works with setup.cfg-only distutils2/packaging projects. Though I'm fairly certain they shouldn't be expected to work yet. Shameless plug, but have you tried d2to1 (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/d2to1)? It allows you to use a setup.cfg with existing tools like pip by way of a simple stub setup.py. It might not suit all your needs, but it also might :) Erik _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
