Re: [Distutils] console scripts in distutils

I really like the way setuptools wraps scripts depending on the platform.

I am not talking about the entry_point feature, but the way it creates executables.

What would people think about making that feature go into distutils itself to enhance the current script behavior?

I mentioned this on the ticket, but I'm adding it here for comments: If this is to go into the stdlib, can it be implemented in such a way that creating a bdist_wininst installer for a pure-python package with wrapped scripts does *not* make the package version-dependent? Paul.
