Note: the "pkgutil2" implementation I pushed to Tarek's bitbucket repository a day or so ago includes PEP 302 support (using a few new finder methods, as proposed). It's ready to go now. It's as compliant with the PEP as possible given the outstanding questions (I've implemented some things on the basis of what I thought was consensus here, even though the PEP has not changed yet to reflect that - using "metadata" rather than "egginfo" in method names, and removing the local= parameter from some of the methods, being the 2 I can recall immediately). I'd like to add a test case using a non-standard PEP 302 importer, but that's a small detail. There are bound to be holes in the implementation, especially around the areas of the open questions that started this thread. I'd appreciate feedback, but I'm not expecting to make code changes until the PEP is changed - it's too much like trying to hit a moving target at the moment! Paul. PS I've added distutils-sig back into the cc list. Please keep "PEP 376" in the subject of any subsequent threads on that list if you want my input, as I don't follow all the traffic on there. _______________________________________________ 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
