As a bystander, what *I* care most about is that Python ends up with a single approach to creating and distributing extensions. What concerns me most about this whole discussion, is that it seems like no-one is attempting to compromise, and participants are pulling further apart rather than converging on a solution.
Two solutions is significantly worse than none, in my book.
BTW, I share David's pain here - I have spent some time in the past explaining *my* requirements, and have found that I repeatedly come up against either blank "I don't understand why you want that" responses, or suggestions that I change how I work to match what's proposed. Nobody seems to be attempting to collect requirements here. Paul. PS No, I won't state my requirements again. That'll only restart the flames. Maybe later, if someone starts a genuine, unbiased, attempt to collect requirements...
