I've been working on a prototype Python packaging system powered by SCons called enscons. https://bitbucket.org/dholth/enscons . It is designed to be an easier way to experiment with packaging compared to hacking on distutils or setuptools which are notoriously difficult to extend. Now it is at the very earliest state where it might be interesting to others who are less familiar with the details of pip and Python package formats.
Interesting, thanks Daniel. This does immediately bring back memories of the now deceased Numscons: https://github.com/cournape/numscons. David Cournapeau wrote quite a bit about it on his blog: https://cournape.wordpress.com/?s=numscons Are you aware of it? It was able to build numpy and scipy, so maybe there's still something worth stealing from it (it's 6 years old by now though). Cheers, Ralf
