No, thats why thee is a comment on that bit! :-) > The problem with that concept of "modifying the distribution as you > go" is that those changes must be moved to every system where your > program will run, Correct, one big advantage of using classes.modules.

Its always wise to have your local code somewhere other than in the system space IMHO. I habe Python in C:\python25 and my projects/modules on D:\Projects\Python This also helps if you want to run multiple copies of Python Just set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point at the projects directory.
