Let's call it "install-db" then, like suggested in PEP 262 : this will ensure that it cannot be a package/module name because of the "-". I doubt anyone is calling a module or a package install_db out there but it's safer that way Tarek _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
