Hi Lennart, thanks for the response. However, I don't think this is quite it. I read this in the docs and deleted the entire build directory. Then when I re-run the tests I can see that the .py files get "fixed" but it never tries to fix the README.txt. -Barry _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
