Might I suggest that you look into distutils, it's a better way for dealing with 3rd party libraries. You can use distutils to make ".egg" files which are a widely used standard for containing compiled 3rd party python libraries. Most people would argue that it's an improper use of a source-control system to use it to keep track of binary objects such as pyc files. Perhaps if you explain a little bit more about why you have decided to go down this route we can think up a better way of doing what you want to do which works better with Python's conventions. For example, my own project relies on a number of 3rd party modules: I do not want to version them in my own source control system - simply keep track of which versions my project requires. When my project is installed I can ensure that those dependencies are installed - and that would preferably be the automatically installed egg files. On the occasion when egg files cannot be installed automatically (e.g. because they are not easily available), I run my own egg-repository which is nothing more than a folder on a web-server. It's really that easy... and I do not have to clog up my svn-server with a bunch of binary that cannot be versioned or diffed. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
