Nick Coghlan added the comment: And regarding moving the still-relevant content to the main distutils docs, yeah that's still a good idea. However, that's going to take a fair bit more work, since you'll need to evaluate the legacy content to decide what needs preserving, and I don't know the technical details well enough to make that call.
I figure the approach in my patch is a neat hack to move that task off the Python 3.4 critical path, while still giving new Python 3.4 users a clean and authoritative starting point for packaging issues :) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19407> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
