Accepting PEP 527 (reducing the variety of file types supported by PyPI)
Having reviewed the comments on the PEP 527 thread and the latest draft of the PEP, I'm now accepting the PEP. This means that:
* supported sdist types will be reduced to .tar.gz and .zip * projects will need to choose one or the other for future releases * supported binary formats will be reduced to bdist_wheel and bdist_egg
The problem that Maurits van Rees pointed out with ez_setup.py currently still specifically looking for a zip file and processing it accordingly can be resolved by setuptools settling on zip as its sdist publication format (unless/until ez_setup.py is changed to handle tar.gz).
Regards, Nick.
Thanks!
