If you believe that disthelper is the "correct" way to package Python modules, I would suggest you propose it to the Packaging committee, as our current Python packaging guidelines only make note of distutils and setuptool. I'm not opposed to disthelper, but since it's not even in Fedora, I don't see it as a reasonable solution to start recommending to packagers. luke -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
