Hi, I am pleased to announce a new release of bento, a packaging solution for python which aims at reproducibility, extensibility and simplicity. You can take a look at its main features on bento's main documentation page (http://cournape.github.com/Bento). The main features of this 0.0.5 release are: - All python versions from 2.4 up to 3.1 now pass the test suite (3.2 will follow once a distribute issue with 3.2 is fixed) - If run under a virtual environment (virtualenv), bento will install the package inside the virtualenvironment by default - Internal changes to enable easier change of build tool (an example for simple extensions is available for waf 1.6.x) - Added experimental distutils compatibility layer so that one can write a setup.py which will pick up all information from bento.info. This enables projects using bento to be able to use tools such as pip. Bento now has its own mailing list: bento@librelist.com. If you are curious about bento, I will present it at pycon 2011 as a poster. cheers, David
