I still think it is unfortunate that we are starting to extend pip to be a tool for developers to create distributions. It would be better of pip was kept as an install tool, and we added the utilities for creating distributions separate. The other option is of course that we start adding all sorts of development commands to pip, such as build, test, sdist etc. But I do think it's the wrong place. //Lennart _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
