Hi all, it seems that distutils doesn't recognize '.zip' files as being part of packages, so if I have the following structure, twill/__init__.py twill/pyparsing.zip twill/mechanize.zip twill/shell.py twill/commands.py then packages = ['twill',] doesn't install the .zip files. Quixote has a simple solution that uses the cmdclass option to respecify things for (in their case) *.ptl files, and it works fine for .zip files. I'm pretty sure .zip files should be considered as valid as .py files, by default. Any thoughts? cheers, --titus
