Thanks to all the people that helped building the survey, and a special thanks to Massimo Di Pierro who created the application that runs the Survey and helped me set it up.

Please, take it !

I get a page load error - something about an expired self-signed certificate (this with Firefox on Windows).

Paul, I got that too but I just clicked by all the warnings and the survey works fine after that. Regards, Gerry

Ah, I see it now. It's a lot harder to find the "let me through anyway" option on Firefox. Paul

Tarek, In the survey there were some questions that were all or nothing. For one I answered Pylons but we also have projects using TG2 so I flipped a coin basically. Don't know how many others might have similar circumstance or whether it makes any difference. Regards, Gerry

Question 8 provides 5 options, none of which apply to me, and no option to comment without choosing one.

Question 7 does the right thing by providing an option to give another answer in the comment field.

I will wait until that question is fixed before responding to the survey ...

added ! Tarek

Hi All, I am doing some grubby work on the Python Package Manager project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonpkgmgr/ After running and installing some packages.. with EasyInstall, my Easy-Install.pth file gets filled with the package and egg names. What I want to do is use these in a list of installed packages. And then later provide for deinstallation. I'm thinking of parsing this file to read all the package names.. My question is is there any way to do the same thing with setuptools? Forgive my ignorance - I am just hacking the code. :-) ---c:\python25\lib\site-packages\Easy-Install.pth----------------------------- import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path) ./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg ./xmlmp-1.1-py2.5.egg ./xml2ddl-0.3.1-py2.5.egg ./xml_compare-1.0.5-py2.5.egg ./html5lib-0.11.1-py2.5.egg ./html2text-2.35-py2.5.egg import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = p+len(new) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards David

Thanks you PJ.... that is most helpful. Seems to be the answer I was looking for. :-) On Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:17:07 -0400, "P.J. Eby" <pje@telecommunity.com> wrote:

You can simply iterate over pkg_resources.working_set to obtain Distribution objects for all eggs on sys.path -- that will give you all *activated* packages (i.e., ones listed in .pth files or otherwise explicitly on sys.path).

If you want all *installed* packages (which may not be on sys.path, but are still physically present in a directory on sys.path), you want an Environment object instead:

http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/PkgResources#environment-objects

And to remove a package from the .pth file, you can use "easy_install -mxNd targetdir project==version" -- this will remove the named project from the easy-install.pth file in targetdir. (The -m takes it out, the -x means don't reinstall scripts, the -N means don't install dependencies, and the -d targetdir specifies where the .pth file is.)
