I have used the stock wxpython on openSUSE just fine. Same for pyicu which I packaged as rpm to be standalone. if could get around that pylucene hell in time I think chandler could fully work off stock libraries of distributions. With GNUmed we are in the same situation. Ship our own libraries for wx, python, pypgsql and many more. If you opt to make it run on the distribution's stock packages it will see a larger userbase. Potential users are potential developers. -- Sebastian Hilbert Leipzig / Germany [www.gnumed.de] -> PGP welcome, HTML ->/dev/null _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Open Source Applications Foundation "chandler-dev" mailing list http://lists.osafoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/chandler-dev
