Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment: The mac/win difference is with the starting dot because it's impossible under windows to name a file under the directory browser UI that starts with a ".". You have to be a power-user to do so. (pydistutils.cfg versus .pydistutils.cfg)
Now for pydistutils.cfg vs distutils.cfg I don't know why it's like that. It should be "distutils.cfg" everywhere imho. Even if the global and local one are eventually merged. I'll launch a thread about it on distutils-sig. Next, setup.cfg is for the current directory because this how you operate with packages that have setup.py+setup.cfg files : you chdir in the directory then run a distutils command. Last, under windows, it should use os.path.expanduser('~') instead of looking for a HOME variable. this will be fix in any case. ---------- nosy: +exarkun priority: -> normal resolution: -> accepted type: -> behavior versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6555> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
