Andrew Pinkham added the comment: Judging from Éric's reaction on Github, I suspect there may be some reticence to changing this code.
I've sub-classed the check command in the project I'm working on to demonstrate what I would like the new behavior to be. https://github.com/jambonsw/django-improved-user/blob/4b699814f68cefe6cf7a63f43f619ee21376cb01/setup.py#L34 If that looks interesting and people are open to changes along those lines, I'm happy to discuss, take feedback, and open a PR. Alternatively, I'm happy to see about overriding the check command in pypa/setuptools instead of modifying distutils. If neither of these are of interest, feel free to close this issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue31073> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
