Awesome, thanks. > I am willing to work with you to replace the invocations of ls, cat, cp > and sync with Python code. (in tools.py and forrest.py) As you may have seen from check-ins I working on ls and cat. Could you take on a challenge that I've not been able to, yet? Rsync ... it is a major pain, 'cos it has bugs [not deleting what it ought] & 'cos it is not pure Python. There are Python choices (thanks Nicola for the original reference) but we'd need to weigh these verse writting our own: http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=3026 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/231501 http://sourceforge.net/projects/dirssync/ http://www.homepages.lu/pu/dfp.html I don't know the OSS world well enough to know if we can use GPL code, bundle it, whatever. I don't know the Python world to know if we ought 'expect' packages installed, or (like we did w/ logging) we ought dump them in our CVS. Are you able to look into this, and select a solution? If you get one, I'd work with you to get it into Gumpy. BTW: If we port all these, would we not needs cgywin? I'm hoping not. > >BTW: How long does it 'hang' in forrest? How big is your workspace?

The Forrest Documenter does (as one page inside itself) run the Text Documenter [which we need to update to be nicer] so it is running Forrest. Gumpy needs to be smarter about documentation choices, but for now forrest ought be ok. I can't think why it chewed your CPU. Can you go to the forrest directory under your work area & run forrest by hand? Alternatively, what did the forrest.txt file show? [I forget if Gumpy sets --debug on forrest or not.] regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
