Sorry, missed the OP. See PEP 261 for the plans in this area: http://python.org/peps/pep-0262.html combined with extensions to the setup.py metadata in: http://python.org/peps/pep-0314.html Most of the design / planning has been done. All we need is some developer time to make it happen. Go visit the Catalog SIG if you're interested. http://www.python.org/sigs/catalog-sig/ Richard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
