I like the BSOL idea, but in that case what will the package extension be instead of .egg? camelot.python.org has the advantage of suggesting an obvious extension: .graal So you go to the Camelot to get the graal (or one of them :). In case this catches on, I'd like to upload ASAP one of my packages [1] called "wholy". PS "Grail" was a web browser written in Python (or an attempt at one). [1] It's mostly useless but I trust wholy.graal will be downloaded by millions. -- TZOTZIOY, I speak England very best. "Dear Paul, please stop spamming us."
