Yes, even if they do if for different needs, both projects want to do the same thing: to be easily extensible by third party project. If we can provide a generic tool for both unittest and distutils extensions use cases, that's great and that will probably be useful for other projects. If we fail, I doubt we will ever have a generic plugin system in the stdlib. But that worth trying I think, and having different use cases is good for this imho _______________________________________________ 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
