<br>*all* users of automated dependency resolution.<br><br></blockquote></div><br>In my humble opinion, I for one completely agree with Phillip. I have had to sit down with quite a few new Python Programmers and show them how to use easy_install and I "thank God" easy_install is smart enough to figure out case sensitivity. This is a wonderful feature!!!! Please don't ever get rid of it :)
