-1, then. Python is open source. Anything shipped with the standard distribution should be buildable with the Pythonic tools in the standard distribution. Obviously the C compiler and operating system services are non-Pythonic, and the line is pretty fuzzy, but I would not want to extend similar consideration to wxPython. This kind of thing is what ActiveState and the OS distros are for. If you say this is discriminating against Windows, well, it probably is, but it should be addressed with a Windows solution, such as a script to generate MSIs. _______________________________________________ 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
