Anyone want to volunteer to work on this? I'm personally much more interested in working on the testing framework than working on distutils support.

I wouldn't go through extra effort to prevent running out of the install dir. But if it makes things cleaner and easier, why not. Perhaps a compromise is that "install.py" (and later, distutils?) could itself create a working dir, removing the need for 2 steps -- install.py AND MakeAppWorkDir.py. - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
