- python to grow a decent, cross platform, package management system
As stated, this may be impossible, because of the difference in what a
package should mean on Windows vs Unix.
If you just mean a way to add python packages from pypi as with
EasyInstall, then maybe.
I meant package in the python sense, which has a clear definition,
unless I'm mistaken?
In some environments, each new component must be approved. Once
python is approved, the standard library is OK, but adding 7 packages
from pypi requires 7 more sets of approvals.
True, but as I mentioend elsewhere, I myself haven't done a python
project where I only needed python and the standard lib for many years...
That said, it may make sense to just give greater prominence to
existing repackagers, such as ActiveState or Enthought.
Right, getting ActivePython or similar approved might be the way to go,
but I'm betting it depends on the project...
