No, I read the code... looks like these attributes make bdist_dumb
the default sub-command to run when no other command is specified:
# This won't do in reality: will need to distinguish RPM-ish Linux,
# Debian-ish Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, ..., Windows, Mac OS.
default_format = { 'posix': 'gztar',
'nt': 'zip',
'os2': 'zip', }
# And the real information.
format_command = { 'rpm': ('bdist_rpm', "RPM distribution"),
'zip': ('bdist_dumb', "ZIP file"),
'gztar': ('bdist_dumb', "gzip'ed tar file"),
'bztar': ('bdist_dumb', "bzip2'ed tar file"),
'ztar': ('bdist_dumb', "compressed tar file"),
'tar': ('bdist_dumb', "tar file"),
'wininst': ('bdist_wininst',
"Windows executable installer"),
'zip': ('bdist_dumb', "ZIP file"),
#'pkgtool': ('bdist_pkgtool',
# "Solaris pkgtool distribution"),
#'sdux': ('bdist_sdux', "HP-UX swinstall depot"),
}
Funny; I would have expected that bdist is a no-op.

Right.
