I am working on a TurboGears2-based app and I just did a count of the .egg packages in the virtualenv. There are 45 of them.... People should really stop splitting their work into micro-libraries (with such ludicrous names as "AddOns" or "Extremes", I might add (*)), and myriads of separately-packaged plugins (the repoze stuff). The Twisted approach is much saner, where you have a cohesive whole in a single package. (*) The package descriptions are worth their salt too: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/AddOns http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Extremes Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
