The issue (having to install dpkg-dev) is specifically about Debian and Ubuntu. I don't think we should have tons of platform-specific instructions in the devguide, and I think that in this case setup.py should detect that the required tool is missing (depending on the platform, of course). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13956> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
