Is it actually useful to them? None of the Linux downstreams I know of have ever mentioned a preference for it. As far as I know, the only preference they've ever expressed to me is that the tests are included in the sdist. FreeBSD relies on ``python setup.py test`` as it's preferred test invocation, so it apparently doesn't find it useful either. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
