Hello,

I think I went through all the latest feedback regarding PEP 376. There will be still some work of course, on the implementation side (for instance the Zip issues described by PJE). But I would like to go ahead and propose PEP 376 for acceptance.

One final (optional) question/suggestion... should we change from this (in RECORD files):

 lib/python2.6/site-packages/docutils/__init__.pyc

to this:

 lib/python2.6/site-packages/docutils/__init__.pyc,,

In this way, reader code can be written as:

 for path, hash, size in csv.reader(...):

It's not a high-priority thing, but if anybody is writing code to parse RECORD files outside the provided API implementation (eg. system packaging tool authors), they'll probably appreciate this. ;-)
