- The code is splitted in many packages and might be distributed under several distributions.
- distribute.resources: that's the old pkgresources, but reorganized in clean, pep-8 modules. This package will only contain the query APIs and will focus on being PEP 376 compatible. We will promote its usage and see if Pip wants to use it as a basis. And maybe PyPM once it's open source ? ( ). It will probably shrink a lot though, once the stdlib provides PEP 376 support.
Why not just call it pkg_resources and/or merge it with pkgutil to get it into the python stdlib?
- distribute.entrypoints: that's the old pkgresources entry points system, but on its own. it uses distribute.resources
Why not get it into the core as distutils.entrypoints? That's where it belongs...
- distribute.index: that's packageindex and a few other things. everything required to interact with PyPI. We will promote its usage and see if Pip wants to use it as a basis.
Why not call in "pypi.client" and "pypi.server" or, better yet, get it into the stdlib as disutils.index.client distutils.index.server?
- distribute.core (might be renamed to main): that's everything else, and uses the other packages.
...which would be left, and could just be called "distribute".
cheers,
Chris
