oh, I only edit the pages through the web, not the files. there's nothing wrong with scp or sftp or rsync-over-ssh or whatever you're using today. > The bit of the website that's dealing with the actual files is not the tricky > bit - I have a dinky little python script that generates the download table. yeah, but *you* are doing it. if the server did that, Martin and other trusted contributors could upload the files as soon as they're available, instead of first transferring them to you, and then waiting for you to find yet another precious time slot to spend on this release. > The problems are with the other bits of the pages. I keep thinking "next > release, I'll automate it further", but never have time on the day. that's why you have to have an overall infrastructure that lets you make incremental tweaks to the tool chain, so things can get a little better all the time. Pyramid obviously isn't such a system. </F> _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
