Let's try to be as plug 'n' play as possible. E.g. we could add a new SVN directory (say, trunk/boinc_python) that would have pre-compiled interpreters for different platforms, as well as the python standard library. It could include version 2, 3, or both.
Then the only requirement for using PyMW would be that you check out boinc_python/ alongside boinc/ The python interface to the BOINC API should probably go in boinc/api -- D Jeremy Cowles wrote: > Now that the PyMW/BOINC interface is running sufficiently well to create a > real application, I'm realizing the importance of full BOINC API support in > the Python science apps.
