notice that I didn't change the PEP yet, all the changes are located in :
http://bitbucket.org/tarek/pep376/src/tip/pkgutil.py
I'll change the PEP text when the prototype is stabilized

I've reworked the APIs using all the feedback:
- now using basic types (dict + set) to make the code simpler
- renamed the classes using the "Distribution" root name
- the global functions are also now sys.path-based and there's no more
global variable
- egg_info -> egginfo
- ...
Please comment !

Glancing over the EggInfo, EggInfoDirectories, and EggInfoDirectory APIs, it might be interesting if these were able to match with the PEP 3119 interfaces (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3119/).
For example, the EggInfoDirectories has __iter__, append, clear and remove methods, but the source code comments list them as 'container APIs'. Technically though, that's an Iterable interface and a partial implementation of the MutableSequence interface.
The EggInfoDirectories.get_egg_infos(project_name) is also suggestive of the Mapping interface - if this method was shortened from get_egg_infos() to just get().
Maybe it would be confusing if an EggInfoDirectories was a MutableSequence which could only have paths added to it, but returned an iterable of EggInfoDirectory, but could also be accessed as a Mapping where the keys are project names and those values are EggInfos ... but maybe something along those lines would work? _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
