It's not clear if much *new* development is needed on the package, though there are a pile of bugs for it in the SourceForge bug tracker.
Oh, I do think that distutils needs to move on. Inparticular it needs support for more native OS packaging tools. We'll look into these after the 2.2 feature freeze.
I just got a Sharp Zaurus, so I'll sign up for ipk format as long as I'm allowed a stupid question: How portable are pyc and pyo files? Would I be able to compile them on a development platform (i386) and package just the bytecode versions?
What is a Sharp Zaurus ? (Sounds like a Greek razorblade to me ;-)
It's Sharp's entry into the U.S. PDA market running Lineo Embedix and QT Palmtop environment. After fighting an HP Jornada with (the appropriately named) WinCE, I have to say: This thing ROCKS! Even though it's a developer edition, being able to open a terminal window, us vi and ssh in and out of it while it's sitting in it's cradle makes the possibilities endless. And, there's already a python ipk available ;) The ipk files should also work on the Compaw iPAQ pda. Quick demo here: http://developer.sharpsec.com/ mwa
