From Newsgroup: comp.lang.python.announce

I've recently released version 0.3.5 of distlib on PyPI [1]. For newcomers, distlib is a library of packaging functionality which is intended to be
usable as the basis for third-party packaging tools.

The main changes in this release are as follows:

* Fixed #161: Updated test case.

* Fixed #164: Improved support for reproducible builds by allowing a fixed
  date/time to be inserted into created .exe files. Thanks to Somber Night for the
  patch.

* Fixed #169: Removed usage of deprecated imp module in favour of importlib.

* Fixed #170: Corrected implementation of ``get_required_dists()``.

* Fixed #172: Compute ABI correctly for Python < 3.8.

* Changed the default locator configuration.

* Made updates in support of PEP 643 / Metadata 2.2.

* Updated launcher executables. Thanks to Michael Bikovitsky for his help with   the launcher changes.

* Updated to write archive path of RECORD to RECORD instead of staging path.
  Thanks to Pieter Pas for the patch.

A more detailed change log is available at [2].

Please try it out, and if you find any problems or have any suggestions for improvements,
please give some feedback using the issue tracker! [3]
