[New-bugs-announce] [issue5095] msi missing from "bdist --help-formats"

[Steven Bethard]

New submission from Steven Bethard <steven.bethard at gmail.com>:

The bdist_msi command is documented in the distutils reference:

http://docs.python.org/distutils/apiref.html#module-distutils.command.bdist_msi

But it does not show up with "bdist --help-formats"

$ python setup.py bdist --help-formats
List of available distribution formats:
  --formats=rpm      RPM distribution
  --formats=gztar    gzip'ed tar file
  --formats=bztar    bzip2'ed tar file
  --formats=ztar     compressed tar file
  --formats=tar      tar file
  --formats=wininst  Windows executable installer
  --formats=zip      ZIP file

This probably exists in 3.0 too, but I haven't checked.
