I already looked at yolk (I liked it) and enstaller (only Windows, it seems), and blogged about it at: http://stabell.org/2007/07/28/pypi-yolk-httplib2/ And now I just discovered there's something called PythonEggTools in the PyPI. I agree we should join forces. I'm doing the egg thing because I wanted: * to see how a subcommand interface would work (a la svn/gem/port/ aptitutde) * a cache (like apt-get) that's easily queryable (I'm in China; the net is slow) * to link into easy_install/ uninstall etc so it's a comprehensive utility Rgds, Bjorn _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
