We'd love to hear any feedback about our distutils efforts. We hardly thought we were doing anything extraordinary, but distutils does seem to have several limitations as is that we had to sub-class to get around. Maybe we were trying too hard in some cases.
There were a couple of spots were if we could abstract core distutils code into a function call (that we could override) it would make our lives that much nicer. Ex, I needed on little hook into install_lib.run (after the build and before the copy), but I had to reproduce the entire function call... another really useful thing for us on copy_file would be if the function told you if the file was copied....
