Sven, you ask a question, and then say you are trying to raise awareness. Are you making a proposal? It sounds like you might be implying that it would be better if some central infrastructure group could make all the distributions? As a developer of a Python package, I don't see how this would be better. The developer would still have to get their software into some kind of uniform configuration, so the central authority could package it. You've moved the problem from, "everyone has to make wheels" to "everyone has to make a tree that's structured properly." But if we can do the second thing, the first thing is really easy. Maybe I've misunderstood? --Ned. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
