The dependency generator uses pkg_resources (specifically Distribution, FileMetadata, PathMetadata) to read data in the .egg-info directory. That should still work with .dist-info, right? If it does, then I can easily support it to read and parse the data. If there's something else I have to do, please let me know, so I can add it.

I've made the change in my local code, and I'll submit it as a PR to rpm as soon as I have confirmation that pkg_resources works for reading .dist-info. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ python-devel mailing list python-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/python-devel
