Â ;-) Â There may be other things out there as well, I don't know. I peeked through PEAK, but it's quite a large collection of tools. Would you point me to a more precise subpackage, please? peak.naming provides lookup services for URLs and other sorts of names; peak.binding provides ways to link object attributes to automatically look up relevant objects. There is very little documentation, as the PEAK core packages were a toolkit I and a friend developed for use in our enterprise jobs. In any case, this is now off-topic for distutils-sig; if you are still interested, you should follow up via the PEAK mailing list here: http://www.eby-sarna.com/mailman/listinfo/peak -- Alan Franzoni -- contact me at pub...@[mysurname].eu ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig

I've got some questions: 1) is there anything around that already does something like that? PEAK does, but it's even less frequently updated than setuptools. ;-) There may be other things out there as well, I don't know. 2) would you think it to be a good addition for pkg_resources, or would it go beyond its scope? Way beyond scope. It makes more sense for it to be part of a url management package. 3) can you see some obvious issues? 4) how would you handle requirements string? ___ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
