Yes, definitely. I've also had distutils Mac support miss 2.0 because of this... No critique implied, I fully understand that people have priorities, but I think we should get rid of bottlenecks if at all possible.
Hmm, personally I wouldn't object to features of this type, which will probably be of the form of a single new bdist_foobar module and little else. I know I'm taking the "no new features" dictum rather liberally for MacPython. But that might be the Amsterdammer in me, others may feel different:-) -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.cwi.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm

Right -- we should allow for distutils updates *between* Python releases too.
That may be easy for the Mac port, it certainly is not for the CVS trunk. IMO, that's ok for distutils installation parts, since these must be very stable. The development parts however could change more frequently, since developers will usually be more flexible in handling possible bugs in new minor releases. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Consulting & Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
