I can't find your message, so I'm responding via Fred's. I hope none of the "Zope folks" have said setuptools is evil. We're big fans and are adopting it whole heartedly. We want it to succeed. Speaking for myself, I think it would benefit from being simpler. It is a lot more complex that I suspect you realize. Of course, there are things I might do differently. But it is a great accomplishment. You should be very proud of it and we are very grateful. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
