NumPy could take an explicit runtime dependency on numpy-distutils so that the code would be technically in a different repo bit would always be available through NumPy. Eventually this could be removed as a runtime dependency. Kevin On Sun, Oct 25, 2020, 09:23 Matti Picus wrote: > > On 10/25/

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Proposal: split numpy.distutils into it's own package

Separating it is definitely a good idea. The only thing that I think would be better would be if they key features that are not in setuptools could be added there so that NumPy distutils could eventually be retired. Kevin On Sat, Oct 24, 2020, 08:12 Dustin Spicuzza wrote: > Hey all, > > [copie
