Why not simply include it in distutils ?
Why not include it in the standard library? Guido? I'll document it if Marc-Andre is willing to provide the module and the regression test.
No objection from here.
I've attached my most recent copy to this mail. I'm not sure how to write the regr. test though since output is dependent on the platform running the functions... perhaps I'll just add something like the audio thingie: "This string ought to identify the platform you are currently running... if not, then something is wrong ;-)".
You didn't include it!
I posted a reply to fix this ;-)
But I vote -1 on this one anyway -- it's too much code and almost by its very nature not something that belongs in a "standard" library. Plus, I don't want to be responsible for maintaining it. Sorry,
You don't have to maintain it... I will anyway since it's part of mxCGIPython. Anyway, perhaps Greg Ward can find some use for it in distutils. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Business: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
