</div>I'm confused by this statement. distutils2 _includes_ a package manager<br>
(pysetup); it has no need to bless an external one. What am I missing?<br></blockquote><div><br>I might be confused; I haven't been following the goings-on of late with distutils2. At one point, I thought the plan was not to bless or include dependency-managing installers with the stdlib, or something like that. i.e., I thought the plan wasn't to support or bless full-service tools like buildout, easy_install, or pip, or anything comparable to them.<br>
