New python distutils class



Coin,

As you may have heard, Python packaging is moving fast these days. We
plan the move the current Python version to 2.4 and in the same time are
drafting a new policy and creating new tools to greatly improve the
current situation. All this leads to the need for a newer class, which
will at the end replace the current one completly.

The current status is : the class was updated today to reflect the
latest changes in the debhelper dh_python script and tool-specific
helpers. Remains a bug i'll try to fix tomorrow, and i need to test it
with another package, just to be sure nothing is left over.

Then, i'd like your support to integrate this class as soon as possible,
when it is considered finished, to allow moving to the new policy
approximately at the same time we move to 2.4, to avoid making the
transition longer than necessary. I of course would appreciate much if
you could have a look at it before and give some advice.

You can find the current class here :

For the documentation point of view, as our documentation are forked,
i'll write what is necessary in the original one and, by rights given by
the licence, you may borrow what you need to update yours.
