.mpkg can depend on other .mpkg... that's not really worth mentioning. You need a .pkg file *somewhere* because .mpkg can only reference .pkg or .mpkg. > 4. the package doesn't update user profiles (should be an > optional .pkg in the .mpkg). In order to make it optional, the outer shell needs to be a .mpkg and it needs to reference an optional .pkg that does this in postflight. > 5. there's still 'python' and 'pythonw' that behave differently, > python should be replaced by pythonw and pythonw should be a > symlink to python for backward compatibility. > 6.

The Python documentation is no longer installed as a help book. I wonder how hard this is to add to IDLE, or if we can just link to HTML docs. I'm not personally a big fan of Help Book anyway. -bob _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
