command_hooks and Python-3.3.0a3???
Greetings: Do you know if the command_hooks patch will get into Python-3.3.0a3 before the end of next week when it is suppose to be released? I truly hope so because I am stuck because command hooks are not working for me??? I hope that I am NOT being too pushy as I know that Eric is go busy already! -- Sincerely yours, Rob G. Healey
Good morning,
Do you know if the command_hooks patch will get into Python-3.3.0a3 before the end of next week when it is suppose to be released? I don’t know. I don’t really focus on the Python alpha releases; I have my eyes on the first beta, which will mean feature freeze for packaging and distutils2: after that point it won’t be possible to add or remove features, only bug fixes will be allowed. The command hooks bug fix may go in before or after the beta; I’ll try to add the develop command before; I don’t know if the scripts generation feature (something like setuptools’ console_scripts/gui_scripts entry points) will be ready in time. In the worst case people unsatisfied with packaging 1.0 in Python 3.3 will be able to use it to install a distutils2 2.0 release from PyPI.
Cheers

I have a working (though not comprehensively tested) implementation of script generation in the pythonv branch (I've referred to it in the relevant Python issue). I believe you had some GSoC work done on this last year, but I'm not sure what the status of that is; I could help bring this into packaging, if it's OK with you. It would be a shame if it were left out of 3.3 for lack of time/resource. I'm quite comfortable in both POSIX and Windows, and I think consideration of both environments is needed for the script generation, because of e.g. executable launchers being needed on Windows (at least, currently).

I know you can help on some important issues and I will certainly ask you specific questions to move them to completion. First I need to generate a refreshed patch and review it, then we will work together to have this committed in time. Cheers
