New submission from Marc-Andre Lemburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: The PKG-INFO file currently only provides an "Authors" field which is mapped to the DistributionMetadata.get_contact() information.
However, the latter method is really meant to provide access to contact information and not authorship, which is why it prefers the maintainer infos over the actual author infos. As a result, the maintainer can appear as author in the PKG-INFO file, which is wrong. Ideal would be to have both an "Author" and "Maintainer" field in the PKG-FILE with 1-1 mappings to the setup() parameters. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 71970 nosy: lemburg priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: PKG-INFO file should differentiate between authors and maintainers versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3686> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
