This is fine as long as developer convenience does not suffer.
Underlying implementations can always be improved, but if we decide
on a sucky format, we'll have to live with that for a long time.<br>

format", which suggests we might as well do it from the

the bullet instead of simply postponing a decision; it

change between now and later in the year.<span

<div>Agreed. However, in another thread, I understood you to
say that ALL we are talking about now is how to specify
the build requirements. If that's the case, then we might
a well as well just go with setup.cfg.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>However, I'd rather we were setting the stage for
grater things -- in which case, let's go with a new config
file.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>BTW, IIRC, there seemed to a consensus moving toward
using a Python API, rather than a command line API for the
mythical pluggable build systems....<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>In which case, we can require python, and could use
python literals for configuration. With the discussion of
PyYaml, I"m thinking more and more that something that can
be parsed with only the stdlib is a good idea.<br>
