Hi, The part that still requires some work is how to handle files prefixes in the RECORD file. Last time we said that we could benefit of having a PREFIXES file. Then Wolojda started to work on a much more complete solution to track data file locations : http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-November/014424.html But IIRC he's not able to work on this at this time. (CCing him in case..) What I suggest is that we leave this new work for a future enhanced version of PEP 376, and try to finish a version that we would want to have in Python 2.7 (that's coming very soon), where RECORD contains what we want to make it possible to remove installed files + provide the query API. As far as I am concerned, the RECORD thingie needs more live examples on various platforms (that's what I am working on now), But since Pip has now a uninstaller for a few months, the question is: what do you Pip guys think about this RECORD file ? (cc'ing Ian as well - I know the other involved in that are listening here :)) Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
