Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: The pkg_resources module in setuptools or distribute reads those files.
In 3.3, packaging.database reads them too (it’s an implementation of PEP 376 with b/w compat with egg-info). It may work just fine in 3.x (it uses text I/O), but when we backport packaging to distutils2 for 2.4+, we’ll probably run into the problem again. ---------- components: +Distutils2 nosy: +alexis, pje _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12087> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
