One issue currently is that source distributions are much simpler to make: I can make a sdist without having wheel installed, and more importantly I can make a single sdist that works for both Python 2 and 3. That means I can make a release of a Python 3-compatible package without having to install Python 3 myself (or the reverse for people who are in a Python 3-only world), relying completely on a service such as Travis to run tests with Python 3. Wichert. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
