[SciPy-dev] distutils sprint at pycon

[Fernando Perez]

Hi all,

I just saw this:

I won't be going to pycon, but if anyone with distutils experience here is 
going it might be worth mentioning scipy's trials and tribulations in this 
area.  Most of us here who have distributed packages have our list of things 
to hate about distutils, but scipy probably has the longest.  It would be 
great if some of the (major) improvements which scipy has made to distutils 
were folded into the core.

Even if the scipy/distutils gurus aren't going to PyCon, it might be worth 
getting in touch with the sprint people.

Just a thought.

Regards,
