In the distutils directory the file __init__.py is not updated to 3.0.

The comment indicates it's not automatic that the version number follows
the Python release number.

Assigning to MAL who wants to coordinated this according to that same
comment.

The version number should only be bumped for major enhancements to
distutils or backwards incompatible changes.

Have there been any such changes ?

It seems the version number has been bumped now.
Was it okay?
msg80953 - (view) Author: Marc-Andre Lemburg (lemburg) * (Python committer) Date: 2009-02-02 16:55
The distutils version number is now updated automatically by the Python
release process, so the comment in that file can be removed.

I'll change the comment explaining how things work now.

How does this mechanism work?  I'm wondering if I should use a similar
mechanism for the ctypes version number...

This is done by Barry's release.py script:

http://svn.python.org/view/sandbox/trunk/release/release.py

in bump().
