'egg' is already the name of a file format, so re-using that name for something more general would be confusing. What would you think if 'tar' allowed you to resize JPEGs? :) _______________________________________________ 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
