I'm still getting used to it as well, and some parts are not finished yet, but it is clearly the best way forward for installing and maintaining python packages. > And there is nothing at all easy about it at the monent, it requiring an > install of the > installer. Yes. Here is the "one-line" (split for email) setup_tools installer-installer: python -c "import urllib; urllib.main()" \ http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py \ | python - -U setuptools > My point about IDLE not running setup.py is and was exactly to this issue.

I missed the point about IDLE not running setup.py, but I can guess that running setup.py inside another process could confuse it when it tries to do dependency analysis to see which files to include. That was a problem when I included a setup.py-like script in the same file as the rest of my code (for one-file distribution). It caused distutils to do a dependency analysis on itself and include everything for distutils in the executable. --Dethe _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
