That's not true anymore in 2012. Why follow the bad practice? I also want to know what open source software project are you referring to. From my experience 'build' directory name is an ancient legacy from Unix C compilers of previous century. Java doesn't use it, MSVC never did it, CMake doesn't have it, Go seems to build everything in temp dir. ---------- status: closed -> pending _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16299> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
