FYI, pkgutil in 2.5 has utilities to walk a package tree, starting from sys.path or a package __path__, and it's PEP 302 compliant. pydoc now uses this in place of directory inspection, so that documenting zipped packages works correctly. These functions aren't documented yet, though, and probably won't be until next week at the earliest. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
