Another no-no? not sure about the UAC elevation -- but: 1) most folks use bdist_wininst for Windows binaries -- including the current numpy builds, and python.org python -- yes? 2) UAC aside, It would be great to have binaries that could be used with virtualenv -- binary eggs? -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
