not too bad, but pytz and datetime are already pretty easy to install, self-contained packages. > But not all systems have a package manager, and not all package managers have > support for traits. I really don't think there is much choice here. Until (if) traits is widely available in an easy-to-install form (binaries for Windows and OS-X, "just works" with easy-install, rpms, and debs for Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian) MPL is going to have to keep a copy internally, just like it does for Agg, etc. The first step to the easy-to-install form is for: setup.py build to "just work" on all platforms that are setup right to build python extensions (have the right compiler, etc) -- is that the case yet? Once it is, it's not hard for various folks to build binaries for various platforms. As for bundling -- if it's installed and working, py2exe and py2app should just work -- if they don't, then a little tweaking may be needed, which we can make into a recipe for py2app, and a Wiki page for py2exe (is there anything like recipes for py2exe?) -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
