[Doesn't this also belong to distutils?] From: "Andrew Kuchling" <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org> Newsgroups: comp.lang.python To: <python-list@python.org> Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2000 4:05 AM Subject: Re: CPAN for python?

[...] The distutils work seems to be freezing down nicely; the discussions have gone from requirements to design to implementation, and are now doing the i-dotting and t-crossing fixes, with the occasional slightly larger upheaval. But the basic principle of running setup.py seems stable.

So, what would people want on top of distutils? A Debian-style "do apt-get, upgrade" to update currently installed packages? A CPAN-style "fetch and install this module for me, please"? Simple version checking?
