[Distutils] Trouble building visual python extension on MacOSX 10.8… with python3.2

2013-02-18 Thread Steve Spicklemire
Hi Distutils Folks, I'm hoping someone on the distutils list may have some hints about discovering the incantation necessary to produce a working boost-linked python extension for ptyhon.org Python-3.2.3 on MacOS 10.8. Here's my situation. I'm attempting to help out with a wxPython port of

[Distutils] Wheel (pep 427) reference implementation

2013-02-18 Thread Daniel Holth
A friendly reminder that wheel is implemented, useful and working as long as you are using distribute 0.6.28 or better. Qwcode's pip fork supports it. When you install a wheel you get .dist-info and can easily have no .egg-info in your virtualenv. Would anyone care to lend a hand with the Sphinx
