Questions, comments... volunteers? :)
Sounds good. I won't volunteer as I have neither time nor expertise to contribute much. But I'd like to see this happen, as it sounds like it would address all my issues with setuptools (and just to reiterate, I'm happy if it is implemented *in place of* add/remove programs - I have no vested interest in that facility as such). For uninstall support, you might look at how bdist_wininst installers handle it. In my experience the uninstall is robust, clean, and reliable, and the supporting metadata is pretty simple (just a text file). Paul.
