Re: [Distutils] unusual platform-dependent problem with tarfile created by setuptools

however, when you run "python setup.py sdist" on an OS X machine (interestingly, *not* on a windows machine), the resulting tar/gz file contains an extra file:

MyghtyUtils-0.52/test/._Container.py

no idea why that is...but this creates problems on windows.

test/Container.py contains a resource-fork or some other mac-specific attribute. At least in plain distutils 'sdist' seems to the platform tar and on OSX that creates ._* files for mac-specific attributes/ resource-forks. Ronald
