I have a feature request. At the moment I am storing configuration values in a Python module file <packagename>Conf.py. This file can include values from the config command (libs, includes), from the install command (install dirs), metadata and customized values varying from package to package.
Ummm, I'm confused. Is this "info needed to build/install the package", or "info needed to run the software"? Those are two very different kinds of configuration info. The Distutils could probably do something in both areas, but I don't think the two should be confused. Eg. about all we can do for run-time configuration is promote a standard place for Python applications to install and find such config data, whereas we can specify everything about build-time config data. So which are you talking about here? Greg -- Greg Ward - Unix bigot gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/ I have a very good DENTAL PLAN. Thank you.
