We already had a lot of churn around these APIs (distutils & friends). I don't think it's a good idea to introduce even more churn. Oh and by the way it's too late to add or remove features from 3.2. > I really like that much better than Java-like accessor functions. Do you actually use sysconfig yourself? It's quite a specialized module, and I don't think API elegance arguments have a great weight here.
