Glad to be of some assistance. BTW, the .pydistutils.cfg will affect any new spkg installs also since distutils will always pick it up. There is a Python issue for this too: http://bugs.python.org/issue1180 So one option would be to backport the patch to the Python version you ship and always invoke setup.py such that it ignores the .pydistutils.cfg. Of course, a simple test script that looks for the file and warns the user (like the macports warning/error) would also work. cheers, prabhu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
