Flit is a Python module intended to ease the creation and upload of modules to the global Python module repository, PyPI.

The module uses information from whatever CVS is used to keep track of the changes to the module... as long as the CVS is either Git or Mercurial.

After a little bit of tinkering, I created a couple of files implementing the detection and use of Fossil for this module.

Any Python user who may benefit from this addition may review the pull request at https://github.com/takluyver/flit/pull/224 and vote in favor of its inclusion in the package if it works for them.
