But then, don't users have to install setuptools first? Actually, I'm starting to think that the whole "official release" business is so "last year" :-) I'm tempted just to "release" leo on bzr. > > Also, if you want to debug it, there's a much better chance of getting > your code/feature requests in.

No doubt this is a subtle import problem. At least I'm debugging my own code :-) I think your suggestion to change leo/src to leo/core is a good one. I suspect, though, that making Leo into a proper package, with 'core' and 'plugins' (etc.) subpackages, probably should wait until 4.4.8 final.

Interesting. Again, copying leo by hand to site-packages was just an experiment. It succeeded :-) Well, my head is spinning with all the options. What do people think about requiring bzr to get Leo. Is that too leading edge? Edward --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
