This is IMHO broken. 1. _ensure_list() allows strings, because, documentation says, they are split in finalize_options(). But finalize_options() does only split keywords and platforms. It does _not_ split classifiers. 2. there's no need that keywords, platforms and classifiers must be a list. keywords and platforms can be any iterable, and classifiers can be any non text-like iterable. Indeed, keywords are written to file using ','.join(), and platforms and classifiers are written using DistributionMetadata._write_list(). They both accepts any iterable, so I do not understand why such a strict requirement. ---------- nosy: +Marco Sulla _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue19610> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
