Hi, :

It seems that the official CPython 3.3 repository have not yet contained the 'distutils2' or 'packaging' module, and I then found there are possibly about three resource repositories of 'distutils2' which we can clone : 1) http://hg.python.org/distutils2 ;2) http://bitbucket.org/tarek/distutils2 ;3) http://hg.python.org/features/packaging/, then I'm curious that which link is the correct or proper source path that we gsoc students can work under?


Best regards,

You must have been looking in the wrong place:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/c5bd972391cd/Lib/packaging

Hi, Martin:

Then, is this link the right source path to clone?

No, that's

http://hg.python.org/cpython

Hi, Martin:

But it's strange that there is not a 'packaging' directory in /Lib of my repository cloned from the link http://hg.python.org/cpython.

Please report the output of "hg sum" in that directory.

Thank you, I'll try.

Hi,

Work now! Thx

I just made a complete new cloning from http://hg.python.org/cpython#default instead of updating from my current repository, then I can see the 'packaging' directory there now, though this cloning process did take a bit long time. I still do not know why updating cannot get me the latest version of cpython, and I can make sure that I have selected the 'default' version which my current repository should be updated to. I'll still spend sometime looking for the true reason causing this problem.

Anyway, I have already gotten the right version which our future work will be built on.
