A colleague stumbled across distutils bug/misfeature that he found had been reported with an associated patch: <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1183712&group_i d=5470&atid=305470> and I'm wondering if there's any plans to accept the patch or implement some other fix (such as raising an exception if one tries to use a blank package name). The current behavior is clearly unexpected and confusing. If there's something I can do to help get a fix of some kind into python 2.5, I'm happy to do it. Regards, -- Russell

As you can see from my comment, I think it really is a bug in the application. Without reviewing it again, I think disallowing empty package names might be the right thing; this can only be done in 2.6, though. Regards, Martin
