well I think that "half" is an exaggeration. Or if it is, it's only because we are falling behind in the number of python modules we have packaged, compared to what is out there! > Not to mention, > packages like SOAPy/SOAPpy where you wouldn't even have the common py > prefix.

This might be an issue to bring up for a general vote. _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
