Hi Éric,
Do you mean this bit?:

+RE_VERSION = re.compile(b'[\D\s]*(\d+\.\d+(\.\d+)*)[\D\s]*$')
It's hardly touching distutils and only the cygwinccompiler.py part (which I
doubt is used very much anyway). It there not some extensive testsuite we can
run patches against that would allow distutils changes?
I guess the very limited amount of changes I've made to distutils is academic
though as it depends on two patches from Roumen Petrov which touch distutils a
lot more.
I thought that the distutils-is-frozen rule was only for Python 2.x and that
they would be allowed for 3.x? Is this not true?
Obviously making Python cross compile properly is a very desired feature (in
this day and age I'd say cross-compilation for any major software is expected
to be honest with you). How can we progress this task in a way that is
acceptable? Please advise.
Best regards,
Ray.
