Now that is not true at all. We have a native Windows installer (bdist_wininst) and an MSI builder (bdist_msi) that both work great on Windows. Plus there are add-ons for other installers such as NSIS and InnoSetup. Please don't forget that setuptools is not distutils, it's just a package extending distutils. If you find bugs related to Windows, please file a bug report. If you have specific proposals for distutils on Windows, you can use the mailing list or send patches to the tracker. The ham/egg ratio on the mailing list tends to be very much on the egg side, so the tracker can help get more attention from folks doing distutils without setuptools. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 07 2009) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
