For entry points at least, having a predefined file name is the *entire point*: i.e. to allow the presence of entry points to be detected without having to read the metadata. If you have to read the metadata to find the filename, then you have to read the whole haystack (metadata for every package) to find the needles (the ones that have entry points). _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
