For the record, there are two easy install methods on an RPM-based distro that doesn't have it in a repository. First get the tarball 'version' of BeautifulSoup: http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/download/BeautifulSoup.tar.gz Untar it, cd into the directory. You can now use the generic python setuptools method of install (similar to Perl's 'perl Makefile.PL ; make ; make install'): python setup.py install There's an even "cooler" way. (This will not work with some more complicated python module unless the author has specifically provided a manifest file for this purpose...but it works with BS) python setup.py bdist_rpm You will then have a "dist" directory with the tarball, an rpm, and an srpm:[EMAIL PROTECTED] BeautifulSoup-3.0.4]$ ls -l dist/ total 124 -rw-rw-r-- 1 shawn shawn 60213 Nov 9 13:40 BeautifulSoup-3.0.4-1.noarch.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 shawn shawn 28680 Nov 9 13:40 BeautifulSoup-3.0.4-1.src.rpm -rw-rw-r-- 1 shawn shawn 26131 Nov 9 13:40 BeautifulSoup-3.0.4.tar.gz Install RPM and enjoy BeautifulSoup -Shawn _______________________________________________ gnhlug-org mailing list gnhlug-org@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-org/
