There appear to be problems with pex on Windows. I've reported a couple of bugs, which appear to have been fixed (although I don't know the timeframe, I lost interest before a fix was implemented). But there are new ones I just found on a quick test. I'd like pex to work, it looks like a nice tool. But I don't want to be their Windows support resource, and it seems like they may not currently have anyone else :-) Paul (I'll probably go and lie down now and stop banging the cross-platform drum for a while :-)) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
