Re: [Python-ideas] Rewriting the build system (part 2)

I hate most tools that ship with configure scripts because 70% of the time some stupid test does some stupid thing wrong and gives the worst errors, 29% of the time the configure system doesn't pick up my options correctly, and 1% of the time it actually *works*.

That's just not true. Also, the small build issue that triggered this thread is already tracked here: http://bugs.python.org/issue22625 It seems more productive to me to fix that rather than rewrite the build system. Users don't have an unlimited tolerance for pointless churn. Stefan Krah
