Not very pythonic. The wiki page that was referenced contained specific instructions for several operating systems; I was commenting on the Ubuntu instructions - I don't think using Ubuntu locks you into it at all. In fact, apt-get exists for windows and RedHat as well as Debian, Ubuntu and other Debian derived platforms. So 'lock in' is hardly accurate. I don't see what is unpythonic about making use of good features of a platform you're running on: GAE isn't unpythonic, ActiveState python isn't unpythonic, the win32 module isn't unpythonic - or are they? -Rob signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Hello everyone! Don't forget to do your homework (Install Python, Pyglet and Rabbyt) before this tutorial. The set-up page has been updated with instructions for a number of other Linux distros. You can find it at http://wiki.slug.org.au/pythonprogrammingsetup If you have any problems, I'll be around from 6:00pm to look into them. There are however a lot of you and only one of me, so please try your best to debug the problems yourself. As we have a lot to get through we will be starting at 6:30 *sharp*. If you are late you may not be able to catch up, so please turn up on time!
