That means that anytime you call easy_install it goes out on the net and asks, even if the product already is installed. It's a possibility, but I'm not convinced it's a good one. > Personally, my preference would be to just do the update. That, I'm convinced is a bad idea. There may be a good reason for why the last version is not installed, such as something else you have installed requiring that version. > Or, at least offer to if run interactively. What I can buy is an option to check, and ask if and upgrade should be done. -U will install the latest without asking, that may not be what you want. -- Lennart Regebro: Python, Zope, Plone, Grok http://regebro.wordpress.com/ +33 661 58 14 64 _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
