yes, this is wrong. most development is done in non-windows OS. what you're seeing is that since OSS is about sharing source, the main form of distribution is source. but some projects recognize that windows doesn't make it easy to compile, so they (or some side-project) keep binaries to help those users. it's a pity that MacOS is going the same route (i think 10.4 still included XCode in the optional installers DVD), so there's some demand for binary distribution for Mac too. -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
