------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 8 15:03:37 -0800 2007 ------- pjanik, In response to you last comment as I don't think my point has been understood. > if you use specific python, you can also compile specific uno extension. Sure this can be done in isolated situation but you don't want to have general users compiling uno just because they use a different python. What happens with Mac update their python/ > Hmm, we can't support all versions. Distributing python doesn't make sense, because: You don't have to support all versions just the one required for OOo. > - people do already have it on their systems Users will have the wrong one if they upgrade, and what if Mac release the OS with the new version? You will have to always distribute a copy of OOo every time the OS changes to match the version of python. > - not all people want to use it You are only distributing the "python-core" with OOo not installing it on their system just as with Windows and Linux OS's. > So the default is to use system python. > Special cases need special treatment I am not sure what you mean by this but either way by my understanding if you rely on the native python then not only those who wish to automate OOo are affected but those who use python macros will dependent on the version of python installed. Distributing OOo with python means you are not dependent on the native version installed and don't have to updated all the builds when the MAC OS python is updated. Can this be put down for discussion somewhere and see what others think? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
