In the commercial environment I'm working in, non-developer end-users get a frozen executable. They don't know that there are eight packages not included in the standard library (including wxPython) in there, unless they go looking in the licences directory. They don't even have to install Python. Using a swarm of potentially awkward third-party modules and keeping things simple for the user are not incompatible. Of course, going back to Dabo there is the question of whether it has such a thing as a non-developer end-user. -- \S -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.chaos.org.uk/~sion/ ___ | "Frankly I have no feelings towards penguins one way or the other" \X/ | -- Arthur C.
