I got an impression from earlier threads that scipy_distutils will be included to scipy_base. So, I am proposing to use scipy_distutils tools and our scipy experience for dealing with this issue, scipy.lib.lapack would be a good working prototype here.
Have you tried integrating scipy_distutils with Python's distutils? My guess is that Python's distutils can benefit from what is in scipy_distutils, particularly the parts dealing with C compilers. A clean integration will also prevent duplicated code, avoids Pearu having to keep scipy_distutils up to date with Python's distutils, and will enlarge the number of potential users. Having two distutils packages seems to be too much of a good thing. --Michiel. -- Michiel de Hoon, Assistant Professor University of Tokyo, Institute of Medical Science Human Genome Center 4-6-1 Shirokane-dai, Minato-ku Tokyo 108-8639 Japan http://bonsai.ims.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~mdehoon
