Has anyone tried asking Fred politely before? I did this a while back about the name of the distribution file and he was happy to change it to make things work for setuptools. What's he's not happy about is people ranting at him about a tool he doesn't use or care about ;-) I dunno if changing the package name is going to be an easy thing for him to do.. cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
