Introduction

This page contains the index of Distutils Enhancement Proposals.

Use Distutils/Proposals/Template when you write your own.

Proposals

These proposals predate the acceptance of recent Distutils PEPs. Some ideas have or will land in Distutils2, other have been considered and rejected, and the rest are good ideas that will be put on a separate page.

• Distutils 2.0

• Dependency Support

• Autoconf-like Options Support

• Uininstall Command

• Setup as a Class not a Procedure

These proposals are up to date:

• Split and Compound Distributions

• In-Development Distributions
