Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Hi Alexander,
Thanks for your interest in improving Python. I’m forced to reject your request because - Python 2.7 does not get new features (and support for cross-compilation would be one). - distutils does not get new features (we had to freeze it because improvements broke many setup scripts depending on undocumented behavior or working around bugs). - This request has been made many times already: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2011-March/110099.html To get cross-compilation, here’s one would have to do: - Work on distutils2, the replacement for distutils and setuptools (it’s included in Python 3.3 under the “packaging” name). - Define exactly what is supported (cross-compiling from any platform to any platform for example), possibly by reviewing all other bug reports about and hashing things out on the distutils-sig mailing list. - Think about getting buildbots running to make sure we don’t get regressions. ---------- assignee: tarek -> eric.araujo resolution: -> rejected stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13260> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
