Hmm, I wonder if something is going on with my ecosystem possibly then. About 24 hours ago, I was doing some research on why it took 26 seconds to run nose, and I discovered this information: http://artificialcode.blogspot.com/2009/04/short-circuiting-python-module-lookup.html If you use eggs, then setuptools always looks at all of them, no matter what module you install. I have also had problems with bfg and turbogears blowing up too. I do like my analogy on Python packaging though, not sure if I have shared it here or not. What would you do if, in a fictional scenario, someone kidnapped your family, and said, " In 24 hours, we are going to install your software, either on Mac, Linux, or Windows. If it works, will release your family." Would you do anything different then what you are doing now. Or are you confident that it is as reliable as possible and that it will install 99.999999999999% of the time on any system? > > - Ben -- Cheers, Noah --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
