Here's what I propose: 1. In pypa/distutils, add support for honoring the proposed install schemes (based on PR 25718). Merge with Setuptools. 2. Add whatever ugly hacks are needed to pypa/distutils to honor other Debian-specific behaviors (revive https://github.com/pypa/distutils/pull/4 but properly match Debian expectations). Mark these ugly hacks as deprecated. 3. In Debian, Fedora, etc, provide patches that configure the install schemes. Test with latest Setuptools and SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=local. 4. Formalize the install schemes support in CPython (as in PR 25718). 5. Ask Debian to propose more a cleaner interface for Debian-specific needs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43976> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
