Oh, I totally agree MAL. It's what I've done in Mailman for ages. What makes it more complicated is when you have dozens of entry points (read: command line scripts), but it's solvable. I guess when I read "PYTHONPATH" I also read "sys.path", so now that I've slept a little, never mind! - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRZur2HEjvBPtnXfVAQIZjwP/Zbcz/aUooJtca/apUSkHwfhnTvMOLiiQ uoWOltYJnwqy3S9EYpUoan0rXBVPd04ygWf9tgZiioTaVHAuXYTLL7SikpiQTxge VxLQA6AegHlGMFgtuqTKNYDNeG2B9dlpHbT05ZSVqVaBeWi6E/ap/NNk7ufZ//pD 3F94t07yDaE= =OHMX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 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
