Having reviewed the comments on the PEP 527 thread and the latest draft of the PEP, I'm now accepting the PEP. This means that:
* supported sdist types will be reduced to .tar.gz and .zip * projects will need to choose one or the other for future releases * supported binary formats will be reduced to bdist_wheel and bdist_egg The problem that Maurits van Rees pointed out with ez_setup.py currently still specifically looking for a zip file and processing it accordingly can be resolved by setuptools settling on zip as its sdist publication format (unless/until ez_setup.py is changed to handle tar.gz).
