I don't think distutils or any of its extensions actually *support* PEP 420 yet. (Distutils implicitly supports PEP 420-compatible packages if you list only the subpackages or submodules, though. That is, you can configure it to ship a PEP 420-compatible layout, even though it doesn't grok the underlying concept of a namespace package.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
