[Pythoncard-users] FW: did you want to commit to getting distutils going for PythonCard?

[Kevin A. <al...@se...>]

Any Mac users tuning in? The Mac normally uses just a carriage-return (CR)
for line endings. Perhaps distutils resolves all this for us and it is a
non-issue.

If properly done, Distutils make Wininstallers and rpms automagically.
(and tar.gz-s and zip-s for those who want them).

I am less sure about handling CRLF-s though... Maybe, UNIX line ends are
expected and proper line-ends are created. I still think that UNIX line
ends are more Pythonic: there are no problems with them in Python for
Windows, but on UNIX LFs are fatal...

Making setup.py is easy. PythonCard is in pure Python
(no C) - so all it's files are:
 - modules
 - data
 - scripts
 - docs

I only need know which are which and make a couple of functions which sort
them out automatically (based on the directory structure, etc)
