I've narrowed it a bit from that, actually. It's safest if easy_install simply refuses to touch any files that it can't tell were installed by it (or a compatible system, eg. distutils.) While that won't solve Paul Moore's desire for the One True Package Manager, it will at least make it possible to move forward. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
