[Python-Dev] [Distutils] [Catalog-sig] accept the wheel PEPs425, 426, 427

[Daniel Holth]

Setuptools! You would avoid 75% of pypi. It is nonsense to pretend that
setuptools is not a significant packaging innovation. Its main flaw is that
it is based on distutils, a non-extensible design. distutils2 is a lot of
setuptools and distutils code with the plug-ability taken out.

Perhaps I should say that I would like distutils to become as relevant to
packaging as the cgi module is to web development. It is not a short-term
goal.
