Re: [Distutils] Q about best practices now (or near future)

Perhaps you're forgetting that there already is an internal pkg_resources equivalent in my pip-distlib branch - this is a pkg_resources compatibility shim using pip.vendor.distlib which passed all the pip tests when it was submitted as a PR.

: ) no I haven't forgotten. I actually bring it up with others pretty often. my use of "pkg_resource equivalent" was actually a reference to your PR work. Marcus
