Webware is really old, started in the pre Python 2.0 ages which had not even a distutils package. So Webware invented a lot of the stuff itself we now take for granted, e.g. its own plugin-system. You're right, this is now an anachronism. I'm planning to make Webware more standard which involves some drastic changes. I wanted to start a discussion about this after Webware 1.0 is out. This must happen in a new version branch. > The same for webware applications, the application context is not > packageable, as it has direct pathnames to the webware installation. > What about compatibility between applications and webware versions... Since version 0.9 or so, there are no absolute pathnames in Webware working dirs any more, except one single pointer to the Webware installation itself, so you can freely move an copy them. Concerning compatibility, the 1.0 branch will be stable and maintained with bugfixes for a very long time. -- Christoph ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
