The problem is actually fixed in Python 2.5; the issue is that the 'inspect' and 'traceback' modules in older Python versions do not support zipped modules well. I don't know if the fixes can be meaningfully backported, since they involve changes to fairly core stdlib modules, especially traceback and linecache. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
