[ANN] bento 0.0.4, a pythonic packaging solution for python softwares

[David Cournapeau]

Hi,

I am pleased to announce the release 0.0.4 for Bento, a pythonic
packaging solution for python softwares. Bento is an alternative to
distutils/setuptools/distutils2 geared toward simplicity and
hackability:

Download: http://github.com/cournape/Bento/archives/master
Documentation: http://cournape.github.com/Bento/html

This release is a significant milestone, as it is able to build two
complex packages (numpy and scipy).

The main new features are:
   - New hooks to modify, override compilation options on a per
extension basis (e.g. build one extension with optimized flags and
another one without).
   - Recursive package description support to split big packages
descriptions into several files
   - Option to generate a python module containing all install paths,
to avoid using __file__ without depending on complex tools ala,
pkb_resources.
   - Improved documentation
   - Some work toward python 3 support (does not work yet for complex packages)

cheers,

David
