We talked a bit about it on the weekly call. I think PyPi is the direction we will go, I'm just really hesitant to give out commitments on timing. I do expect changes in the coming weeks and hope that we'll be able to pull things together in that kind of time frame. We just don't have a plan about how to handle the versioning that I'm happy with yet and that makes it hard to commit. Cheers, Richard
