Hm, I saw several responses from people who'd built something quite similar. This suggests to me that this is a common need. > You might also want to drop it and just > add it to your personal (or Zope's) library. I have something like this in Zope's library. I end up with a very small package that isn't logically part of other packages, but that is a dependency of lots of packages. I don't like that, but I guess I should get over it. I must say that I am of 2 minds about things like this. On the one hand, I'd like Python's standard library to be small with packaging systems to provide "extra batteries". OTOH, I often find small tools like this that would be nice to have readily available. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Python Powered!
