Is there a way to specify a minimum Python version that's required by a distutils package? E.g., if I make a package, and I know it requires Python 2.1, I'd like it to check the version of Python on the system where it's being installed, to make sure that it's at least 2.1. -Edward

Right.
but not in the bdist packages.
The Windows installer is bound to a specific Python version, so it won't even install to a different version. The rpms are different though: they don't check for the Python version and just unzip to the version directory which was specified at RPM contruction time. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Consulting & Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
