I've recently released version 0.3.5 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.
The main changes in this release are as follows: * Fixed #161: Updated test case. * Fixed #164: Improved support for reproducible builds by allowing a fixed date/time to be inserted into created .exe files. Thanks to Somber Night for the patch. * Fixed #169: Removed usage of deprecated imp module in favour of importlib. * Fixed #170: Corrected implementation of ``get_required_dists()``. * Fixed #172: Compute ABI correctly for Python < 3.8. * Changed the default locator configuration. * Made updates in support of PEP 643 / Metadata 2.2. * Updated launcher executables. Thanks to Michael Bikovitsky for his help with the launcher changes. * Updated to write archive path of RECORD to RECORD instead of staging path. Thanks to Pieter Pas for the patch. A more detailed change log is available at [2]. Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements, please give some feedback using the issue tracker!
