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.  ;-)

Yes, of course. the RECORD file is supposed to be iterable using the csv reader, so that's a mistake in the PEP.

Thanks for noticing, I'll fix it later today
