I didn't say that the manuals were too long, I said I was *struck by* how long they are. I read them through a while back, and they seemed long and confusing to me at the time. While reading, I kept thinking, "this should be simpler" and "why does a seemingly simple tool need such a long manual?". Maybe setuptools/easy_install/eggs is not overly complicated, but it seems that way to me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
