I'm also not going to have much time to keep discussing this over the next few days. On Thu, Jul 20, 2017, at 11:22 AM, Paul Moore wrote:
2) I'd much rather if we're going for a "stop and take stock" style of reset, that we base that off what's currently in the official version of the PEP. Trying to read a new document and identify the differences from the working version is both time consuming and error prone. I don't think there's any reason that any of your questions wouldn't just as reasonably apply to the official version of the PEP.
Agreed. I skimmed through Nathaniel's version. The changes I notice relative to the working version in the peps repo are: 1. Removes the build_directory= parameter 2. Removes the optional hook prepare_metadata_for_build_wheel 3. Adds an extension namespace keyed by the name of the frontend specifying the hooks (e.g. backend.extensions['pip'].some_extra_hook ) Thomas
