PEP 376 - contents of RECORD file

Oct. 13, 2011
3:35 p.m.
Looking at a RECORD file installed by pysetup (on 3.3 trunk, on Windows) all of the filenames seem to be absolute, even though the package is pure-Python and so everything is under site-packages. Looking at PEP 376, it looks like the paths should be relative to site-packages. Two questions: 1. Am I reading this right? Is it a bug in pysetup? 2. Does it matter? Are relative paths needed, or is it just nice to have? Oh, and a third question - where is the best place to ask these questions? Now that packaging is in core, is python-dev OK? Or should I be asking on the distutils SIG or the packaging developers list? Thanks, Paul.
