'Stripping' the standard library is really only a side issue for me. I think it would be nice if it didn't get much *bigger* - but what I really want most of all is for easy_install (or something like it) to always work, with every package. Right now, its actually easier for me to hunt down a Windows installer or Mac .dmg for about 50% of the packages than it is to install them from the command line. When I download something, the last thing I want to spend time doing is debugging its setup.py. -- Talin _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
