mxSetup.py, the module implementing all our distutils extensions, is available in egenix-mx-base which is open source: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxBase/ Here's current snapshot: http://downloads.egenix.com/python/egenix-mx-base-3.2.0_20091006.zip or as egg http://downloads.egenix.com/python/egenix_mx_base-3.2.0_20091006-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg Note how the package name is mangled... easy_install requires this. The file name also doesn't tell you that the above is for a UCS2 Python build. Again, easy_install fails with that information added to the "py2.6" version marker. We're still tweaking the implementation a bit, but it's stabilizing rather quickly. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Oct 05 2009) >>> 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 our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
