AFAIK I've only added my copyright to the individual files I've created, but not to any of the files I've copied over from packaging. The plan is to move the project over to hg.python.org at some point, but Antoine suggested (on python-dev) leaving it on BitBucket until it gets a little more mature. I'm fine with that too; there's still a lot to do on it. > Unless your plan is not to have distlib incorporated into Python but > roll a separate project, I'd recommend having it in hg.python.org > under the PSF umbrella. I think the suggestion was to keep it out of the stdlib for now, and add all or part of it later, as and when there's a general consensus on python-dev about its fitness for purpose. I can certainly update the files which I copied from packaging with a PSF copyright (or other copyright, like the Fellowship of the Packaging), if that would make you more comfortable, and / or state "Portions Copyright XXX" in setup.py. I certainly don't intend for copyright issues to be contentious :-) If distlib doesn't make it into the stdlib, it'll be dead in the water anyway, as the purpose of it is to find a common underpinning in the stdlib that higher level tools can use, to achieve interoperability and consistency across different packaging tools. I will be adding more features as time permits - e.g. I have started adding scripts functionality including binary launchers for Windows, and I will soon be adding a "plugins" package to handle the "entry point" functionality. At the moment the distlib stuff is really in limbo awaiting feedback from distutils-sig and python-dev members; I'll be adding bits and pieces, but without some kind of endorsement/suggestions/contributions from others, no real progress can be made.
