I've been thinking a bit more about being forced to upgrade package X when I'm not interested, and I realised that the times it really bothers me are even one more step removed: if I was interested in package X and the website/whatever told me "don't use the current version of X, use the newer one" I can probably live with that.
The real problem is when I couldn't care less about package X but I'm really interested in Y, which uses X, and then X forcing me to upgrade it. Python is in a pretty good shape right now, with well-packaged extension modules being compatible with a fairly wide range of Python installations, but please let's try and keep it that way. -- Jack Jansen, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
