What's the question? I didn't get Jay's response to your
distutils pep talk, if he sent it to the list.
Distutils pro:
** Convenient.
** Installs just like any other Python package.
** Separation of read-only data (maintained by the developers) and
read-write data (maintained by the sysadmin).
** Ability for multiple users (or the same user) to run multiple
"instances" of the program. Granted, you can do that with
Webware already.
** Encourages us to package Webware in a library-friendly manner,
so that parts can be used in other projects. Each *Kit is
meant to be used that way anyway, since they are advertised
as being "not Webware specific, but useful in other projects."
** Tavis' "webkit" wrapper is convenient to use.
Distutils con:
** Does not install the documentation and examples? Python
does not have a standard place to put these files. Perhaps
we'd have to make distutils do something "extra" for this.
The examples/admin console could be made into importable
libraries, and then installed into the user's configuration that
way somehow.
** No uninstall feature. As I recommended, we should hack this in
ourselves.
I've been using WebwareExpRefactoring+Cheetah on my home site since
March 8. http://iron.cx/ . It's been pretty stable; Tavis has been
fixing bugs as I report them. They're were a couple showstoppers
but they've been fixed now. The one disadvantage currently is that
success logging isn't implemented, just failure logging. I just use
Apache's access log for my success logging.
