I think developers and system- or application maintainers have different viewpoints in this. As a developer it might be a good idea to have different installed pythons in different environments to be sure that some modules (or python itself) meet different requirements. But as system maintainer I like to keep things simple. I do not want similar trees of python installations all over the place if it can be avoided. -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
