[Orbit-python-list] Distutils for orbit-python?

[Jade M. <ja...@gn...>]

Have you guys considered using Distutils instead of autotools for building =
orbit-python?  Auto[conf|make] is the more traditional way, but distutils s=
eems to be the more "pythonic" way of doing things these days (now that it =
is functional that is :)  It may make it much easier to port orbit-python t=
o different platforms in the future, not to mention it eliminates the need =
for patching automake.  Anyways, I have hacked together a rough setup.py sc=
ript that successfully builds orbit-python for me (although I still have th=
e undefined symbol problems mentioned in my previous mail).  Please let me =
know if this is something orbit-python would like to use.  Thanks!
