This is something we should address if we move Webware to distutils. Cheetah doesn't try to install the docs anywhere, it just leaves them in the unpacked tarball. IMO, this is less than ideal because it mixes files you don't need anymore (the installation source) with files you need on an ongoing basis (the documentation). Perhaps we could extend distutils somehow to give it the concept of a documentation directory and examples directory? Would it be worth it? Of course, then there's the issue of documentation formats. Install all formats? but some users want HTML, some want text, others want PS, others want PDF. Then there's the issue that the HTML documentation wants to go into some intelligent web hierarchy, alongside the Python documentation and other packages installed on the system. But this might be too much for us to handle. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
