Read this: http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/dropping-pep-386-versions-comparison/ So, again, I don't know anything about buildout, and it might be a nice interim solution, but there are some new and exciting developments in distutils coming down the pike, and whatever becomes the standard Python package management system will very likely be based on those new developments. I just hope it all happens sooner than later. :) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
