Isn't that the same question as whether to use distutils? All the distutils packages I have seen use it as a way to portably put the modules in Python's site-packages (wherever Python is installed), and the executables in whatever bin/ directory Python was put in. Of course the user can override these paths, but I'm not sure if distutils is appropriate for installing things into system-wide absolute paths, as /usr/share/ and /var/log/ are. In any case, if we decide not to put Webware in site-packages/, it should go into /usr/local/* by default if we're making a generic installer for several OSes. Only the OS-specific maintainers and the local sysadmin have to right to install things into /usr . -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
