Something that slightly bothers me with distutils is that if you run Python from source it installs package include files into the Python Include directory. This is a bit of an annoyance for me (as it means I have to clean out the cruft before I create a MacPython source distribution) but I'm really more worried about the elegance of it. Shouldn't there be a site-Include, along the line of the site-packages, so that package include files can't collide with standard Python include files? -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ www.oratrix.nl/~jack | ++++ see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/ ++++
