This is entirely wrong. Python installation tools are barely capable of putting entire existing working python packages into a directory that if you mumble rhymes with "kite smackages". To expect installation tools to be able to put a python-script into a nested subdirectory of an entirely different subtree without putting in __init__.py files, and working with .pth files, and not being insane, you have to hack things. kite-smackages/twisted/plugins/myplugin.py installed with any standard tool without simply hard-coding is a disaster. Putting it outside of that directory, more so. -- Regards, Stephen Thorne Development Engineer Netbox Blue _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
