I think that now I understand what you meant here. You should not have to duplicate distutils2 code in legacy setup.py scripts: “pysetup generate-setup” will create a setup script that can find information in the setup.cfg file (so that you only have to update one file), without depending on distutils2 code (it uses inspect.getsource to copy the cfg_to_args function into setup.py). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11595> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
