Further, I assert that there are a greater number of build tools which do not support cross-compilation, but will build natively on x64 and expect 'PCBuild' to have libraries they can link with to create an x64 binary. I'm with Martin on this one as well I think. If I understand correctly,

[Distutils] [zc.buildout] upgrade with changed explicit recipe version

2008-04-02 Thread Hanno Schlichting
Hi. I ran into a problem with zc.buildout while upgrading a customers buildout and wondered if the problem I encountered is a general one. The buildout in question had one recipe pinned down to an exact version as in: [buildout] parts = plone [plone] recipe = plone.recipe.plone==3.0.2

2008-04-02 Thread Mark Hammond
Even installing shortcuts doesn't need to munge the registry! But regardless, you seem to be arguing that setuptools should morph into a full-blown, general purpose installer for python build apps, capable of doing all kinds of platform specific things which any app may desire - and while I don't

Hi Mark, Shortcuts don't, but file associations to those shortcuts do (at least to the best of my understanding,) adding paths does, etc. I agree that a library (extensions or no) doesn't need to do these things. But anything targeted at an end-user on Windows has a reasonable chance of
