I have to admit that I'm always unsure about this. However, I would prefer to have all modules just working after a standard installation of biopython so that users don't have to cope with strange error messages. If a user then decides that he will never use Bio.Wise he can just purge wise. Just correct me if this is not reasonable... On the other hand I would like to have either all dependencies for all modules recommended or none. That is, if I move wise to the suggests field I would also move python-numeric-ext back. I don't see a reason why one should distinguish between libraries and binaries since from the user's perspective a module is just working or not. Whether this is because a library or a binary is missing doesn't actually matter. Best regards, -- Philipp Benner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
