mac specific ? i dont think so. however, perhaps something in the file is being incorrectly construed as mac-specific (but still, I dont think so). heres the code: http://www.myghty.org/trac/browser/myghtyutils/trunk/test/Container.py and the full set of imports... from myghtyutils.container import * import myghtyutils.buffer as buffer import random, time, weakref, sys, re import testbase import unittest, sys try: import thread except: raise "this test requires a thread-enabled python" and from then on its just unit tests. Ill see if just having a file called "Container.py" with minimal python in it produces the same results (not at an appropriate workstation at the moment). Ronald Oussoren wrote:

however, when you run "python setup.py sdist" on an OS X machine (interestingly, *not* on a windows machine), the resulting tar/gz file contains an extra file:
MyghtyUtils-0.52/test/._Container.py
no idea why that is...but this creates problems on windows.
test/Container.py contains a resource-fork or some other mac-specific attribute. At least in plain distutils 'sdist' seems to the platform tar and on OSX that creates ._* files for mac-specific attributes/ resource-forks.
