Hello Here's a wrapup of the Distutils-SIG discussion we had on the "static metadata" topic. I realize that it's a good thing to send in. python-dev such wrapup on distutils design decisions, to keep everyone informed and get more feedback when required The above implies that a consensus was reached on this topic; you should perhaps at least note that in this case it actually means that you just terminated the discussion and pronounced your choice, just as a simpler solution for dynamic dependencies (proposed by Sridhar) was beginning to gain some support.

I pronounced my choice on the syntax of the conditions in the setup.cfg file, and the setuptools-like syntax to express them Sridhar presented looked more complex.

If you are talking about another solution than using setup.cfg with conditional expressions, please start a new thread that demonstrates how it will work, we all want the best solution of course.
