According with the procedures in PEP 5, there should be a warning issued before aborting setup. Later (major) releases of Python, or distutils, could change the warning into an error. Nevertheless, I agree with the change in principal. Distutils can and should enforce a certain amount of policy; among this, having a version number sounds like a reasonable requirement - even though its primary use is for building (and uploading) distributions. Are you saying that Pyfort does not have a version number? On SF, I can get version 6.3... Regards, Martin
