To my knowledge, there is not anyone. Tavis Rudd has used distutils in WebwareXP, and has indicated that he was interested in doing this for Webware, but hasn't had the time. Stefan Schwarzer made a BSD Port, which may help you when thinking about what-files-go-where (though distutils will handle some of it). Other people have mentioned things here and there, but no one has taken up the torch. The biggest outstanding issue seems to be where Webware should be installed -- in particular, should it be installed in Python's normal path (so that you could do "import WebKit.Page" from any Python prompt), or should it require PYTHONPATH to be set before you run AppServer... and if you do include it in the path, can you make some packages less ambiguous (WebUtils and MiscUtils in particular). People don't want to use Webware.WebKit.Page everywhere, but I think a happy median might be found by simply putting WebUtils and MiscUtils in some other package (or something...) I wouldn't let this keep you from doing it -- just choose one, and try to make it so it isn't hard to change if necessary. Personally, I don't see how it's necessary to put Webware in the standard path, as it is very unlikely you will use it outside of the AppServer environment. (This isn't true of MiddleKit -- but you might want to split MiddleKit off, even) Ian ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
