Better yet would be something like Debian's popularity-contest mechanism (it provides opt-in voting of packages based on what is installed on your machine). popularity-contest runs from a cron job. Maybe when Python is installed it could ask if you want to submit package statistics. If so, installing a package with distutils would submit the name and version number to a central server. If we knew which batteries were most popular we could make sure they are included in the package. ;-) Neil _______________________________________________ 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
