Yes, I thought about that, too. If it was built at run time, everything in /usr/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages/ + __builtins__ + /usr/lib/site-python would be indexed, plus the PyQt apis. The glitch is that it won't index any newer packages, but that is acceptable, I think. If the files are created at install time, they have to reside in /var/lib, if I understand the FHS correctly, don't they? I'll do some timings with the scripts and post the results somewhat later. > >>BTW, splitting the package won't save any space, since eric is >>Python-only (Arch..: all). > > > If the data files are a fair size, I'd put them in a separate package, > which is recommended by the main package. Some people have good enough > memories that they don't need no steenkin' code completion... <grin> I myself don't use it, since Python code completion is more guessing than anything else - or you do a lot of analysis. If one really wants the IDE to write code, Java + Eclipse is the way to go. Amazing, how many lines you can create with just some mouse clicks. greetings Torsten - -- Torsten Marek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ID: A244C858 -- FP: 1902 0002 5DFC 856B F146 894C 7CC5 451E A244 C858 Keyserver: subkeys.pgp.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFCT8FxfMVFHqJEyFgRAi6+AKC/HXEOaNSJK0MHRDZClPYBPVE22wCfTpR7 wf7cEQRIEI706yVjG9RtyW0= =uEkU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
