Great ! besides the RECORD file, anything remark on the PEP from a PyPM point of view ? Once Paul has finished to work on the PEP 302 part of the prototype, maybe we could try it out on PyPM to see how it fits ? > Eventually, I'd like PEP 376 to support system packagers too.

As for generating the RECORD > file, I vote for generating it during install time (w/ absolute paths). That should be possible for all "python setup.py install"-based systems e.g. stating that if python-pyqt4 is already installed and if the INSTALLER file contains another name than "pip", pip should not try to do anything with it. _______________________________________________ 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
