question about packaging
A couple of us from the OpenStack project are interested in getting involved in the packaging rewrite/update project. I was following that work for a while, but have lost track of its current state. Can someone point me to the right mailing list, and maybe a status page or something so I can start figuring out where we might be able to help? Thanks, Doug
There's the distutil mailing list: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig Doug Hellmann wrote:

Is that where the discussions are actively happening? Last time I looked at it I thought there was a google group or something. It's bee quite a while, though, so I may just be confused. On Dec 28, 2012, at 6:12 PM, Antonio Cavallo wrote:

The current effort seems to be distlib, Vinay's project to gather the "good parts" of packaging and distutils as a library API: http://packages.python.org/distlib/ (there's an active bitbucket repo) Regards Antoine.
Correct if I'm wrong but distlib isn't targeting resources managent? distutils is targeted to distribute python modules/packages instead; small differences but on the field they really mean different things. distlib is under http://hg.python.org/distlib too :O ..my first guess would be that's the released "branch".

distlib is intended to target more than resource management, but it's not a full-blown packaging system. Rather, it's intended to implement common pieces of functionality needed by packaging systems in a hopefully non-controversial and useful way.
distlib is under http://hg.python.org/distlib too :O
Actually the BitBucket repo is more active and readthedocs has the latest docs, but I do periodically update the above repo on hg.python.org. Regards, Vinay Sajip

Thanks, I'll start digging in there and reading the PEPs to catch up. Doug

See https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/distlib/ for the latest code, which is periodically pushed to http://hg.python.org/distlib/ The latest documentation is at https://distlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ While distlib focuses on the packaging PEPs and standardised formats, it is intended to be possible to build packaging systems on top of it. Compared to distutils2, distlib aims to make it easier to transition from existing packaging infrastructure and tools (distutils, setuptools/distribute). Some of the PEPs are still in flux (e.g. PEP 426, PEP 427). Regards, Vinay Sajip

what about the actual packaging issues from the cypthon bugtracker? should we try to port the ones that apply to https://bitbucket.org/vinay.sajip/distlib/ ? Thanks and Happy 2013! francis
