Yep, and thereby cuts the whole gordian knot, throws the pieces on the fire and burns them. :-) Package managers have always seemed to me to be an excessively complex solution to a problem that needn't have existed in the first place. I keep hoping that someday Linux will support something like MacOSX application bundles and frameworks, but I haven't seen any sign of it yet. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
