Looks like we agree that a basic tool able to bootstrap the packaging story is needed :)
Agreed. Just because distutils can't easily/reliably build things that are better built with SCons/WAF/tup/whatever, doesn't mean that we shouldn't have the ability to build pure-Python distributions and distributions including C libs and extensions, with the ability to extend easily by third-party tools. It just needs to be done in a way which is easy to build on, so the included battery stays small and simple. Easier said than done, I know :-) Regards, Vinay Sajip
