Hope it's OK to clarify two details that came up during Vinay's distlib wheel implementation: zip directory filenames are encoded as utf-8, and it's nicer to put the .dist-info directory at the end of the archive.

It's better to announce the intended update/clarification on python-dev first, but I agree both these adjustments are reasonable (I don't remember if I actually said that in the distutils-sig thread).

Regards, Nick.
