However, the 1.2 canvas and libs refactor sounds very promising, so I wouldn't want to trash it entirely. - The process for creating distributable Windows and OS X packages is > extremely time-consuming and error-prone (it is documented in > doc/internal).

I am willing to maintain the Mac binary packages at least - installation needs to be kept simple for beginners, so would be good if someone can adopt the Windows binary as well. I would also like to keep easy_install around - it shouldn't be flaky, and perhaps there are some changes we can make to help with that. - A Py3K conversion would be quite a lot of work. I don't think that is a huge loss - Py3k has remarkably little traction thus far in the game development field. -- Tristam MacDonald http://swiftcoder.wordpress.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
