Re: [Python-ideas] [Python-Dev] question about packaging
Sorry if I interfere, but now what should be supported, distlib or packaging? It seems to me that the former was born to solve some problems packaging and distribute still had. In addition to that, packaging has not been included in Python 3.3, as it was first planned.

Originally, the distutils2 project was going to be the basis the new packaging support in the stdlib. The critical problem identified in the run up to 3.3 was that the level of maturity in distutils2 (and hence packaging) was hugely variable - some parts were (almost) ready for inclusion, but many were not. By building up distlib more incrementally (rather than starting as a fork of distutils), it should be easier to identify which parts are sufficiently mature for stdlib inclusion.
