Hi, I would like to remove twisted.python.dist as a public API without following the 1 year deprecation processes. The module has a comment which informs people not to use it outside of Twisted, but I think it should be private module instead. The ticket is here https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/8622 The PR is here https://github.com/twisted/twisted/pull/467 The branch is here https://github.com/twisted/twisted/tree/8622-setup-coverage This is part of the setup.py cleanup effort for having most of the setup.py code outside of setup.py itself so that we can test it as part of the automated test suite. twisted.python.dist3 was kept as a private API as it is already used by https://github.com/habnabit/twisted-depgraph Please let me know if you are using twisted.python.dist outside of Twisted and are against this change or if you approve it. Thanks! -- Adi Roiban
