[Distutils] distlib and data files => resources ?

[Tarek Ziadé]

Hey

I was reading this : 
http://distlib.readthedocs.org/en/latest/overview.html#what-was-the-problem-with-packaging

and I thought I should bring up that distutils2 has implemented a way to 
define data files that can be installed in the "right" places on the 
target system. "right" here being what the linux distros decides, or the 
default win location etc.

There is a description here: 
http://alexis.notmyidea.org/distutils2/setupcfg.html#resources

I think it's a better system than the data files that are located/and 
stay in the python package, maybe it would be interesting not to lose it.

Cheers
