Hey, I've started to work on splitting Distribute into several distributions for 0.7 Here's the organization I was thinking about: - Distribution Name = "Distribute" - Content: setuptools package renamed to distribute (minus some elements). root modules in setuptools will be moved to the distribute.core package so the root namespace stays empty. - Distribution Name = "DistributeResources" - Content: the part of pkg_resources.py that handles installed distribution querying + renamed to "distribute.resources" - Distribution Name = "DistributeEntryPoints" - Content: the part of pkg_resources.py that handles entry points + renamed to "distribute.entry_points" - Distribution Name = "DistributeInstaller" - Content: the part of pkg_resources.py that handles version comparison + package_index, that gets files at pypi + easy_install.py + easy_install command extracted from setuptools package + renamed into a "distribute.installer" package I am not sure yet how the distribute namespace will be handled, because (maybe ala PEP 382) I am not sure either if "setuptools.sandbox" should get its own distribution. I'd keep it in Distribute Any thoughts ? Cheers Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
