Thanks. If you have access to the egg file name, you should be able to tell. AFAIK, eggs with extension modules include the Distutils platform name in the file name preceded by a '-', so '-linux', '-win32', '-macosx' for the main ones. Pure python eggs do not contain a platform name. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyinterval/ is a random example of the former. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ 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
