I can take a look at ensuring it works.
It was something like http://pylonshq.com/downloads, but let's get confirmation before spending time on it. > I'm wondering if it might be prudent to do a 'last update' or something to > freeze everything needed for Pylons under a sub-tree and mirror all docs, > downloads, etc. indefinitely.

I'm still supporting two Pylons 1 applications and three Pylons 0.9.7 applications. So yes, a "with all dependencies" distribution would be helpful. Two of the applications I'm not exactly maintaining myself but more advising the maintainers who don't know a lot about Pylons and may they eventually be replaced by people who know even less about it. I was able to help them when go-pylons.py broke or a WebOb version became incompatible with Pylons. but if I'm not around then someday they may not be able to get the program to run. I want to upgrade all the applications to Pyramid, but time and budget constraints keep pushing that to next year, then the year after that... -- Mike Orr <sluggos...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
