[Distutils] Packaging Distribute

2009-10-04 Thread Akira Kitada
Hi, I'm planning to make a port for Distribute to make it more accessible to users. However, thinking about up coming 0.7 release, which will break the compatibility with setuptools, I started wondering it's not so easy to make a package for distribute. If I understand correctly, Distutils 0.7 is

Hello Tarek, I think "apt, yum, etc" would be also used for packaging/distributing apps. On Sun, Jan 25, 2009 at 8:06 PM, Tarek Ziadé wrote: > Hello > > A Language Summit will be held in Chicago the day before Pycon. > http://us.pycon.org/2009/about/summits/language/ > > I am preparing a survey

Hi Tarek, I asked that how can I write 'mydistutils' package pythonic way. The 'mydistutils' is distutils with only two additional things: - MyDistribution (Based on Distribution - bdist_mycmd (Based on Command) If I copied whole distutils/ package into site-packages/mydistutils, it should work,

[Distutils] Extending distutils with a package in site-packages?

2009-01-21 Thread Akira Kitada
Hi, I'm trying to write a module 'mydistutils', an extension to original distutils. I would like to make it distutils-compatible so that user of the module use mydistutils interchangeably. The only difference between them would be the addition of 'MyDistribution' and 'bdist_mycmd'. Because I don't

Hello, I've just read distutils/README [1] which says there's "a separately packaged standalone version of the Distutils" on Distutils web page [2]. It seems, however, this is just a unmaintained README and actually all I could find there was old "Distutils-1.0.2". Where can I find the latest sta
