True.... both ways, I guess: I'm still waiting for a reply to my comments. I'd also like to see more discussion about adding e.g.: * support for user packages (ie. having site.py add a well-defined user home directory based Python path entry to sys.path, e.g. ~/.python/user-packages, much like what MacPython already does now) * support for having the import mechanism play nice with namespace packages (ie. packages that may live in different places on the disk, but appear to be in the same Python package as seen by the import mechanism) I think those two features would go a long way in reducing the number of hacks setuptools currently applies to get this functionality working with code in .pth files, monkey-patching site.py, etc. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 21 2007) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
