I think that for "true" end users Idle is the only serious omission. The first one is really for developers only, and the second one doesn't really become important until such fat eggs become widely available (which they are not right now, IIRC). Hmm, idea to keep this manageable: how much work would it be to create tiny installers for each of these hotfixes, and then have a umbrella installer that encompasses all of these? That way, as new problems surface the only work would be to create a hotfix installer for that single problem and do a tiny update to the umbrella installer. -- 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
