Well, one reason is that it can't be distributed separately under that name, and hence not be tested separately or bugfixed separately. Rule #1 for inclusion in the standard library is that the module pretty much is dead, and that you don't need new releases or new features. This isn't true for any part of a refactored setuptools. We will need to distribute most of this separately for a while first. That means that distutils.anything doesn't work. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ 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
