I'm wondering how scripts should be handled by easyinstall -- right now they pretty much get ignored. But I'm not sure how they should be handled at all. Distutils has a couple rules, with --install-scripts, and --home (which uses ~/bin), and the normal rules... and then some translation of those options to Windows. But none of those seems to translate very well to easyinstall. Or eggs. I don't have any ideas myself on this. Except that the scripts themselves are usually pretty dumb anyway, just thin wrappers that fix up sys.path, import a module, and call a function; so the status quo could probably be improved upon anyway. -- Ian Bicking / ianb@colorstudy.com / http://blog.ianbicking.org
