Err... Why do I always have to be the fly in the ointment?
I don't see the point of Disutils for Webware. Webware is not a library, at least not really. It's an application. There are parts of it that can be used as a library, but that hasn't been the focus for a long time. On Linux, I don't think that Webware should live under /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages/Webware. I think it should live under /usr/local/ somewhere. Actually, I put in /opt, but anyway. I'm not anti-disutils, I'm just not clear on the usefulness for Webware. My understanding is that disutils is intended for installing libraries, compiling them if necessary, etc. Red Hat's installer is not installed as a module. The only use I see is to install stuff like MiscUtils, etc., as python modules. But then that spreads everything everywhere, etc. Tavis, I know you have a strong opposite opinion here. Tell me what I'm missing. (I know you've told me before, but I forgot.)
