I'm looking for a broader starting point and didn't feel like digging into disutils to make it work that way. Maybe it's easy though. Sounds like Kumar might have some specifics on this point.<br><br><br>----- "curtin@acm.org" <brian.curtin@gmail.com> wrote:

It sounds like you might want something more like zc.buildout, maybe<br>>
for <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.cmmi/" target="_blank">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.recipe.cmmi/</a> (thinking it might<br>>
help to compile java?)<br>>
<br>>
zc.buildout docs are a little hard to follow but it's kinda nice once<br>>
you see how it works.<br>>
<br>>
You may also want to look closely at Paver.<br>>
<br>>
PS. don't use distutils.core ;)<br>>
