I have a script based on setuptools that invokes easy install to check for and download newer distributions. I allow users to specify whether or not they want unzipped downloads. As a result, easy_install will sometimes replace a zip file with a directory or the other way around. This leads to problems in the invoking program because the sys.path_importer_cache is stale. Does anyone know if it is safe to clear the cache from time to time? If so, I'd be inclined to clear it any time I invoke easy_install.
If it isn't safe, I'll probably just forego the feature of letting users force downloads to be unzipped, which I may do anyway to be safe. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
