Geez, dude, I already said that in a diplomatic way, i.e., without saying "stupid" and without saying *their* setup was fragile. They're just people like you and me who want their stuff to work; they don't deserve to have their work called stupid. I wasn't stupid when I tried doing that kind of check-for-and-install dependency installation; it's just the simplest thing that could possibly work. The fact that it doesn't actually work all that well is something to learn from, and trying stuff in order to learn what works doesn't make you stupid - it makes you smarter. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
