I agree that more background and motivational information would be very helpful, as would some real world examples. I know that >90% (maybe 99% :) of the packages I distribute don't adapt to their execution context (beyond what distutils does internally) or need anything but meta data.

Your example shows an empty setup() call but does not say which package/module is supposed to be installed. I'm confused now to how much you would like in setup.cfg. Is the idea to leave the package/module/extension module/scripts etc in setup.py? Regards Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
