Hello

I am working on PEP 376 http://svn.python.org/projects/peps/trunk/pep-0376.txt, and there's a part about adding an install and uninstall script into Distutils.

By the way, the PEP would benefit from some clarifications and separation of terminology between "project" names and "package" names. AFAICT, it speaks of "packages" to mean both Python packages and a distribution of a Python project. Also, does pip really create a .pth file per installed package (project?)? (Btw, I'm also not clear on the purpose of including MANIFEST in .egg-info.)
