Well, there is such a thing, I just assumed you didn't want it. The -m option to easy_install can install packages without a .pth file, but then to use them, your package must also be using setuptools and declare its dependencies, or explicitly use require() to add the packages to sys.path at runtime. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
