I find it really funny you say so, just after another thread where you proved yourself unable to come up with a working Python environment lacking an already packaged RPM of version 2.7... I know "egg" are not standard, but these days are still the only way to install Python-related stuff that includes precompiled stuff, be it a Python module implemented in C, or a Pyjamas application, or simply .mo files containing gettext translations... *without* forcing the recipient to install all the needed "compiler chains". I really hope the distribute2 toolset will provide such nice capability. ciao, lele. -- nickname: Lele Gaifax | Quando vivrò di quello che ho pensato ieri real: Emanuele Gaifas | comincerò ad aver paura di chi mi copia. lele@metapensiero.it | -- Fortunato Depero, 1929.
