You can install anything you want, but first you need an installer. I think that a language needs packaging formats and basic build and install tools in its stdlib. You can use different tools for specialized needs or tastes, but I think years and years of frustration show that people need a basic thing working out of the box.

(It happened with easy_install before bento.) I’m the first one to recognize that distutils has deep flaws, but I respect the time and energy that many people have put into it. > Wheel makes it possible for Python to get out of the build tool > business.

Looks like we agree that a basic tool able to bootstrap the packaging story is needed :) Regards _______________________________________________ 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
