I would prefer waf for the sake of consistency, since it's already being used by the bootloader. It's nice that you can commit the single-file and avoid the external dependency for building. Even if we commit it twice in two different directories, it's not a big problem (most people will even ignore the existence of any of them, since they will be mainly used by PyInstaller's developers). -- Giovanni Bajo :: [email protected] Develer S.r.l. :: http://www.develer.com My Blog: http://giovanni.bajo.it
