Picking up on this point... out of curiousity, I threw a couple of package names at "apt-get -s" on my main (Ubuntu 8.04) PC to see what worked. The first two names I tried (numpy, scipy) didn't work, but the next four (python-numpy, python-scipy, python-django, python-turbogears) all had hits. Because Turbo Gears incorporates so many other projects, the simulated run at installing it provided a nice overview of a variety of other Python packages in the Ubuntu repositories as well. No doubt a search in Adept would reveal a whole lot more "python-*" packages that are just a few clicks away for me. </tangent> Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ 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
