Not very pythonic. The wiki page that was referenced contained specific instructions for several operating systems; I was commenting on the Ubuntu instructions - I don't think using Ubuntu locks you into it at all. In fact, apt-get exists for windows and RedHat as well as Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian derived platforms. So 'lock in' is hardly accurate. I don't see what is unpythonic about making use of good features of a platform you're running on: GAE isn't unpythonic, ActiveState python isn't unpythonic, the win32 module isn't unpythonic - or are they? -Rob
