It is always a pain to use an installer to replace itself.

Double oops. I have pushed bdist_wheel to my cpython fork, but that doesn't take care of the installer. I am definitely interested in porting the distribute version over to Python 3. I just haven't gotten to it. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
