Here's a thought: What if we proposed a hook to get DEFAULT_VERSION from a file or environment variable? Then at least on Debian systems we could provide that file in our python-setuptools package, or set the envar in our d/rules files? I'd probably prefer the former since it would allow us to specify the default version for the majority of Python packages. The two aren't mutually exclusive, but I'm not sure both would be useful. What would that file name be? Is this just adding more nonsense to insanity? If it would be useful, I'd be happy to pursue it in upstream. -Barry
