Python went with msi - which is what I would do. Indeed, I was so disgusted by the leo installer for windows that I intended to do this, but somehow have not got around to doing it partly because to make a solution compatible with leo's license, I would have to learn msilib.py - which I need to do anyway, but have not yet done. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
