I think the evidence supports that pypi is useful, and therefor better than nothing -- which in no way means it couldn't be much better. My personal experience is that I always try: easy_install whatever first, and when it works, I'm happy and a bit surprised. It virtually never works for more complex packages, particularly on OS-X: - PIL - scipy - matplotlib - netcdf4 - gdal I don't now if wxPython is on PyPi, I've never even tried. many of these fail because of other non-python dependencies. So yes -- we really could use something better! -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 chris.bar...@noaa.gov _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
