Hi, I am pleased to announce the release 0.0.4 for Bento, a pythonic packaging solution for python softwares. Bento is an alternative to distutils/setuptools/distutils2 geared toward simplicity and hackability: http://cournape.github.com/Bento/ Download: http://github.com/cournape/Bento/archives/master Documentation: http://cournape.github.com/Bento/html This release is a significant milestone, as it is able to build two complex packages (numpy and scipy). The main new features are: - New hooks to modify, override compilation options on a per extension basis (e.g. build one extension with optimized flags and another one without). - Recursive package description support to split big packages descriptions into several files - Option to generate a python module containing all install paths, to avoid using __file__ without depending on complex tools ala, pkb_resources. - Improved documentation - Some work toward python 3 support (does not work yet for complex packages) cheers, David
