does your code always work right away?
I tend to use an incremental approach, with lots of edit-compile-run cycles. I still haven't found a way to get the damn thing to just build my extension and copy it to the current directory, so I can run the test scripts.
does anyone here know how to do that, without having to resort to ugly wrapper batch files/shell scripts?
(distutils is also a pain to use with a version management system that marks files in the repository as read-only; distutils copy function happily copies all the status bits. but the remove function refuses to remove files that are read-only, even if the files have been created by distutils itself...)
