From <http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools#declaring-dependencies>: > Any scripts in your project will be installed with wrappers that > verify the availability of the specified dependencies at runtime, and > ensure that the correct versions are added to sys.path (e.g. if > multiple versions have been installed). setuptools definitely supports multiple versions of packages being installed at once, and the ability to select them. It rewrites your scripts for you at installation time to resolve the depdendencies. If you want to use the versioned dependencies during development, that's what 'setup.py develop' is for. -- Nicholas Riley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | <http://www.uiuc.edu/ph/www/njriley> _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
