Hi all, The first paragraph of this SIG's charter states: """ The distutils sig exists to discuss the design and implementation of a suite of module distribution utilities for Python. These utilities will take the form of some standard modules, probably grouped in the 'distutils' package, for building, packaging, and installing third-party modules. This includes both modules written purely in Python and extension modules written in C/C++. """ This implies that the freeze tool would indeed be on topic (even though I fairly certain that this was not the intent!). Im really just looking for a place to discuss enhancements to Freeze itself. Specifically, Guido, Jack Jansen, Just and myself have had very very preliminary discussions on a new "import architecture" for Python itself. It is driven by freeze, but would probably become a standard part of Python if proven worthy. Im concerned it is too esoteric for the newgroup itself, but also that it really would be stretching the charter of this SIG. Please let me know if this is acceptable here (would make an interesting diversion from version numbers, tho :-), or if I should attempt a newsgroup assault! Mark.
