Hi David, I think the point Michael tries to make is to be able to activate (not register) some plugins for some projects. In this case, even if bzr system is used (and I agree, it's a really good system), how will you activate only some of them for your project? I don't think it is geared towards end users, much more towards developers (at least for the unittest plugins) in which case adding a .cfg file to your vcs is not much work to do ;) Matthieu -- Information System Engineer, Ph.D. Blog: http://matt.eifelle.com LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/matthieubrucher _______________________________________________ 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
