The --help argument is not working in Distutils v0.8.1 . The problem is caused by two things: FancyGetopt.generate_help() does not have a self argument and FancyGetopt.print_help() places the file argument first, but all the functions that call it seem to expect the header argument to be first. A patch is attached that fixes the problem. -- Harry Henry Gebel, Senior Developer, Landon House SBS West Dover Hundred, Delaware PyNcurses: python binding for ncurses http://pyncurses.sourceforge.net

Gaakk! Paper-bag-over-head time. Thanks for the patch -- checked in and a new code snapshot released. I'll see if any more dumb bugs show up in 0.8.1 and then put out 0.8.2. Argghg... BTW, has anyone other than me successfully used the "sdist" command, specifically written and processed a MANIFEST.in file, under Windows yet?
