Hey, I come by my hatred of that <censored> panel honestly! When a flat text file with an arcane name is a UI upgrade... :) Cheers, Nick. P.S. For those that don't know (which is probably most people), I was a professional C/C++/Python programmer on Windows (starting with NT4!) from late 2000 through to early 2011. I just haven't used it for *personal* software development since 2004 or so, when I decided learning Linux was easier than trying to get CPython to build on Windows with the very limited free tools that existed in the days prior to Visual Studio Express :) -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
