Well, in a setup.py there's an options or some such that can be used to provide effective command-line option overrides in-line, but that doesn't help for systemwide default configurations, like the files I mentioned. It's effectively only a substitute for setup.cfg. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
