[pypy-dev] 3rd party modules / fixing

[holger krekel]

Hi all,

after some discussion with maciej and elsewhere  
i'd suggest to setup a 

    pypy/dist/lib-python/3rdparty 
                                                                                                                                           
directory where we temporarily put our own versions of
packages that we aim to support and from which we can build
upstream patches.  If we evolve into maintaining packages or
if the packages get too big we could shift them to a
different place so that they don't come along with a standard
checkout).  In any case, let's note down exact source
information including urls, revision etc.  in the commit log
messages so that things remain easily trackable.  I guess 
for convenience we could also add that directory above to 
PyPy's app level module lookup paths. 
                                                                                                                                           
best,
