I want to say thanks to all that have given information regarding the original question - for example the blog mention was valuable, aswell as the disctintion between CPAN and cpan. It was definately *not* my intention to start another "Where is CPAN for Python?"-thread, but it seems we're already there. :) -- http://olofb.wordpress.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
