ncoghlan_dev @hynek Given that I just deleted a bunch of code from the module as redundant, that's probably a good thing :)

   

ncoghlan_dev @hynek Sounds good to me.

   

ncoghlan_dev Alex Gaynor -- 5 years, 2 months, and 28 days http://t.co/PVm2oFi0

   

ncoghlan_dev @dstufft No, it's absolutely critical for future first impressions. If pysetup fails a beginner, reaction will be "Python sucks" :P

   

ncoghlan_dev @mitsuhiko Because setuptools poisoned the well by monkeypatching the world, and they got tainted by association.

   

ncoghlan_dev @mitsuhiko If you're asking if it will install from bdist_rpm et al, I have no idea. IIRC, idea is to be good enough to bootstrap pip.

   

ncoghlan_dev @mitsuhiko If you're asking if anyone has written a spec for bdist_simple, then no. Lots of noise, no volunteers.

   

ncoghlan_dev The cynic in me says that even pysetup and pyvenv in 3.3 won't stop complaints that python-dev doesn't care about packaging issues :P

   

ncoghlan_dev @zzzeek Feed is over, but these pics show the contrast: http://t.co/qjCbD8MJ http://t.co/GQH63ZKw

   

ncoghlan_dev @jackdied Yup, we were pushing to get the bigger changes into the final alpha rather than leaving them for the first beta #python #crazytalk

   

ncoghlan_dev [Python-Dev] Accepting PEP 405 (Python Virtual Environments) http://t.co/jG5kX410 <-- What the quoted subject line says :)

   

ncoghlan_dev Fun game: while doing online psych quizzes, try to guess what they're *really* studying. Then forget to ever go check if you were right...

   

ncoghlan_dev @brian_curtin I think you would make a lot of tutorial providers very happy if you published that :)

   

ncoghlan_dev @swearyanthony @wordsonaplatfrm As I put it the other day, they seem to be trying to make Win 7 -> KDE migration easier than Win 7 -> Win 8

   

ncoghlan_dev @dabeaz You could probably do it, but you'd have to walk the object graph of the previous instance of the module via type.__subclasses__()
