[pypy-dev] RPython proposed deprecation: translator.platform .distutils_platform

[Matti Picus]

  
  
In addition to the arm, bsd, cygwin, darwin, freebsd, linux, maemo
(really?) netbsd, openbsd, posix, and windows
rpython/translator/platforms, we have one called
"distutils_platform" that is allegedly supposed to allow one to
specify the target platform and use distutils factilities to compile
an RPython program for that target. I would like to deprecate
(remove) it. The trigger for my proposal is the need to import
setuptools to enable disutils to find the MSVC compiler on a system
that uses the "Visual for Python" compilers, which I came across
when setting up a new win32 build slave. Rather than try and fix the
problem I would prefer to remove the platform. 

Any objections?
Matti
