[OT] You can take a look at bento, which is my own response to the distutils issues we have in the scipy community (but I would expect twisted and most big python libraries to have similar issues): http://cournape.github.com/Bento/ It is designed from the ground up with the idea of reliable customization and complex build supports. It can already build numpy and scipy with a near 50 % reduction in LOC compared to our setup.py, and more reliably thanks to using a real build tool in the backend (waf, but you can add support for a different one if you want). cheers, David _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
