On a side note, when I was playing with Python 2.4, I noticed that distutils doesn't create build directories that have the major Python version encoded in them, only the operating system information. This doesn't really make much sense, because extensions and bytecode aren't typically compatible between major versions! Nobody commented on this, but I'm willing to write a patch to create build directories with sys.version[:3] in them if it will be accepted...
are you sure about this? the build directories sure have version numbers in them on Unix and Windows:
I think you're right, I must've been mistaken by the fact that pure python source files end up in a lib dir not a build dir (I thought it was reusing pyc files, but those are generated at the installation location). My bad. -bob
