I haven't done it yet, mainly because I haven't decided how it should work, exactly. Mostly I'm concerned that it seems to need a bunch of options in order to support all the use cases that have been requested. For example, you've asked mainly that all the requirements be pre-baked, and Ian has asked also that nothing "leak into" the current environment that isn't pre-baked. (Which is also a reasonable requirement for high-security scripts.) It also seems like some of these options should be controllable by the script author to some extent. I just haven't come up with a good design for what the options should be. Mostly the issue is that the script-writing code is already too complicated for my taste, and this is going to make it worse, and I haven't had any brilliant ideas yet on how to fix that. :) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
