Flit handles these fine for everything *apart* from making an sdist. It can make a wheel, install the package, or symlink it as a development install. Hence why I'm so frustrated by the insistence that we must make an sdist when we have no need for an sdist. It's not a compromise I'm entirely happy with, but all the other options that we came up with had bigger problems, IMO. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
