One last addition, explicitly allow X- headers. IMO the technical purpose of each tag is solid. I would like to get this implemented by the end of July so that it can be used. After that I would like to open PEP 346 "Metadata 1.3". Metadata 1.3 could add: Parenthesis in environment markers (make official "a subset of Python without most of the good stuff?") The ~> operator for version specs "~> 1.2" is sugar for ">= 1.2, < 2.0". (Not allowed in environment markers). Thanks dstufft. Metadata-Is-Static: true / false (name to be determined; means "does Requires-Dist reliably use environment markers, or does it depend on Python code in setup.py) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
