Perhaps someone could make an egg-to-msi translator, so that non-Windows users could still build and distribute eggs, but Windows users could still install them with built-in uninstallability. Eggs certainly don't have a complex internal format -- indeed, they don't offer as much installation flexibility as bdist_wininst does. easy_install can convert most (but not all) bdist_wininst .exe's to eggs, so a similar conversion from eggs to MSI should be possible. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
