This is an important point. As I see it the KGS is a Zope-only thing, and is just a workaround for the mindless behaviour of setuptools. I do not see it gaining acceptance outside of the Zope community, and imho effort is better spent on improving the packaging tools.
Are there other Python projects that have to deal with such a huge amount of packages and dependencies? I don't know any similar project. So the solution must come from the Zope world (which does not mean that we participate in the packaging toolchain development as Tarek does).
I don't know. I just feel quite strongly that improving the packaging tools would be a better use of manpower than working on the KGS in its current form. Wichert. -- Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net> It is simple to make things. http://www.wiggy.net/ It is hard to make things simple.
