After a lot of thinking, and some experimentation, and an abortive attempt at an email which ended up being *far* more negative than I want, I have decided not to comment any more at this stage. I'll go back to lurking until I have a better feel for eggs, their benefits, and how they fit into the overall package distribution equation. Sorry, but you guys are doing good work, and I don't want to spend my time moaning. Paul. PS I will make one comment - I really do think that ez_setup should have an option to disable downloads. When I tried installing the PyProtocols egg, ez_setup happily grabbed the setuptools egg off the web, installed it, and ran code from it. I know it needs to, but that's a huge security risk - I'm not particularly obsessed by security, but even I found that a bit scary. Arguably, no-download should be the default, and auto-download should be the optional behaviour. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
