hmm, just had a look, and it seems the manpage could use some more tweaking. It nolonger puts anything in /var/lib/python-central, as it uses the dpkg database for everything. Actually, the register-python script itself still has a few vestigial references to this directory to. Otherwise... nice. Thanks for the credits :-). Perhaps worth emphasising is that this will only multi-python compile stuff in /usr/lib/python/site-packages. Some Python apps put their own modules in their own /usr/lib/<app> directory. For these apps to take advantage of python-central the modules must be in a /usr/lib/python/site-packages/<app> directory. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABO: finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for more info, including pgp key ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
