Dear Debian Python maintainers, the distutils SIG is currently working on a number of PEPs that will determine how Python distributions will be packaged in the future. One goal of the PEPs is to make the life of linux distribution package maintainers a little easier. :-) Have a look at [1] where you can find an overview of the PEP drafts that are related to Python packaging and some proposals that are currently under consideration. The page is pretty new and incomplete, but you are welcome to add whatever proposal/idea you have. Most of the proposals right now are related to the way data files will be installed and handled once the PEPs are accepted and implemented. It would be great if you could: * Review the PEPs and proposals and provide comments * Describe use cases or ideas that you would like to see implemented in distutils/Distribute Especially problems you have in your daily work with distutils/distribute/setuptools packaged distributions are of interest and now is the time to voice a proposal on how to handle this in the future. Essentially: What has to change to make your packaging experience an even better one? [1] http://wiki.python.org/moin/Distutils/DiscussionOverview -- .''`.
