I think maybe there's also a latent notion floating around that "a resource (aka non-Python files) shouldn't be addressable within Python packages" aka. "Python should only make it easy to address Python files in Python packages, but no other kind of file". I'm not sure I've ever seen any of the core dev team express this opinion, but I've seen it floating around elsewhere. - C _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
