Christian, thanks for the pointer. I think you're right, I probably am actually wanting this to be fixed in setuptools, not distutils, since setuptools is what people are using today. Since setuptools is an offshoot of distutils, I had assumed that the developers of setuptools would take ownership of any remaining distutils bugs that affected setuptools but I guess not. I looked through the setuptools issue tracker and this was the closest existing bug I could find: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1732 ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue1222585> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
