That would be one of the "certain limitations", yes. :) The other is that the version installed this way can't be overridden except by scripts. That is, if you start Python without a script that initializes one of the alternate versions to be on sys.path, then you will get the "single-version" install as the version on sys.path. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
