As was brought up on the distutils list, this seems unnecessarily complicated. Other, simpler, solutions were proposed: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-September/013173.html http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-September/013289.html However, you pronounced yourself bdfl(!): http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2009-September/013318.html ...and decided to ignore them. Please don't do this over such an important matter. Yes, for the syntax bikeshedding on how conditions should be expressed, I have decided I'll be some kind of distutils dictator to end up the endless discussions on how they should be expressed so we can move on.
