Re: [Distutils] Are chained comparisons allowed in environment markers?

Surely getting farther away from python by trying to prohibit useless makers just makes the implementation needlessly complex.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "useless" markers. For example, distlib checks for e.g. "'2' == '2'" and e.g. "'os.name' == 'os.name'" as these are pointless to include in an environment marker, but that's only on the basis that (probable) errors shouldn't pass silently. Regards, Vinay Sajip
