Essentially, one would have to contribute patches to all the distributions (we care about, at least), and then nag the respective maintainers to include these patches.
Not true. You just need to make sure that "setup.py install" creates that database. With the proposed format of the database this is just a file in the correct location - exactly for this reason. Next time the distribution will build the package that database file will be in place.
How so? Are you /sure/ the packaging process even *runs* setup.py? And if they do, why do you think they will pick up the database file? Regards, Martin
