Given that it's the same format, is there any reason to change the filename? Changing the filename just means more code in Daniel's wheel support code, and REGISTRY is an awfully vague name.

When Bob Ippolito and I first designed that system, we thought there'd be a need to use temporary directories for extraction. Apparently, there never was. ;-) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
