I see that the setup.py at the top level of the Python distribution does a lot of things wrt sensing compiler options, etc, that I'd like to re-use in my SSL setup.py distribution file. I'm a bit curious as to why this framework isn't in the distutils package?
I suspect a combo of (a) nobody has done it yet and (b) many of the things done there felt too hackish to the person writing them. Regardless of (b) I'd place my money on (a).
In maintaining external bsddb and hashlib module distributions for use on older pythons I have so far just pasted code as appropriate to/from the python setup.py and the separate distribution ones. Not ideal but trivial since once settled upon setup didn't change much. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
