Do you mean putting PySide into the standard library like Tkinter? Legal and technical showstoppers aside, I do not think that will work to PySide's benefit. PySide needs much more frequent updates than the standard library's development cycle permits. Development of a library does not speed up by putting it into the standard library. Rather, development slows to a crawl of cautious bugfixes. One doesn't get a large community of users by being in the standard library; one *might* get into the standard library by already having a large community of users. I think PySide will flourish best outside of the standard library. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ PySide mailing list PySide@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/pyside
