This is a static archive of the Python wiki, which was retired in February 2026 due to lack of usage and the resources necessary to serve it — predominately to bots, crawlers, and LLM companies.
Pages are preserved as they were at the time of archival. For current information, please visit python.org.
If a change to this archive is absolutely needed, requests can be made via the infrastructure@python.org mailing list.

Let's try to list the appropriate project, a person or a group of person on each platform that is willing to maintain a third-party tool that build system-specific distros out of python package.

These person will be able to follow the current work in Distutils trunk and "be prepared"
