Is your package an ordinary package or a Webware style component? If it's a component, I would urge you to rename your index.html to something more appropriate like UsersGuide.html or QuickStart.html and advertise that doc in Properties.py (see other components for examples). This lets Webware do two things: - generate an index.html that is consistent for all components. It reports name, version, summary, links to docs, highlight source and release notes. When you say crash, do you mean seg fault, bus error, or raise exception? Python programs rarely crash; they usually raise an exception and it's often interesting to see what it is. > Another thing: I may have been asleep while the conversation raged about > removing the "trans" parameter from action method signatures in the > WebKit.Page class; are there any similar changes likely to arise between > now and 0.6 final?

I believe the removal of trans was much earlier, e.g., post 0.5 but pre-0.6a1. That parameter never made any sense since Pages have always been able to say self.transaction(). -Chuck _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
