Not if they contain extensions, or are built by setuptools. >(but then, I do not understand why a (pure) python egg is version dependent). 1. Because it contains compiled bytecode, which is Python version dependent. 2. Because it may contain different contents or dependencies, based on the Python version. #2 is also why setuptools builds version-dependent bdist_wininst installers. (By the way, please stop emailing me off-list; I don't support setuptools except via the distutils-sig mailing list.) _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
