Note that the .pyc files will be built for a specific Python version; that's why the version number is there. Not including the version number won't magically make it work with other Python versions. >Another unrelated thing: Debian is supposed to ship the source code >for binaries, but it's not included in the package for cli.exe and >gui.exe. Could you point me to the source code and/or include it in >the next release? It's included in the source release, along with all the documentation. The file you're looking for is 'launcher.c'. Of course, the .exe files aren't used on non-Windows platforms anyway. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
