We can specify that paths in RECORDS can be relative to the parent directory of the .dist-info directory or absolute and both must be supported by installation tools. Whether relative or absolute paths are used is decided by the tool that creates/modifies the RECORDS file.
That seems easy enough to implement, while flexible enough to support the different use cases.
Yes, and I've now implemented this in distlib. Tests are still to be added to cover all cases, but I am now able to upgrade / uninstall pip-installed dists, which seems promising. Regards, Vinay Sajip
