We wouldn't use the precompiled C eggs. The main reason I'm looking |
| 10 |
at eggs so soon is because packages may start using them exclusively |
| 11 |
and we will have the choice of using them via portage or let people |
| 12 |
install them manually via easy_install. This happened with Rails. They |
| 13 |
have the source available but comes with no way to install it properly |
| 14 |
and they only support gems installations officially, so the gems eclass |
| 15 |
was born. |

I haven't worked with easy_install for about a month so I haven't |
| 27 |
got much to add, but I'm catching up on it tonight. Since nobody else on |
| 28 |
the Python team has spoken up, I think they may not be caught up either. |
| 29 |
I received a few mails from other interested people, and we're meeting |
| 30 |
on irc for now. |
