Depends. I recently tried to install mechanize, and easytools tried to install a ton of dependencies, all requiring administrator access to install. --prefix didn't resolve dependencies, which isn't helpful if you're not root or you don't trust the install scripts. Plus, one of the resources was unavailable to my install just failed. Relying on various pieces scattered over sourceforge doesn't really seem all that close to me. That said, I should read up on 2.5. Ideally we'd have multiple distribution methods, one requiring an initial install of something like a Python runtime, and one that simply bundles everything ala PyInstaller. Mike -- Michael P.
