Thomas -- have you been following the saga of patch #449054, part of the PEP 250 implementation. If I understand things correctly, this patch only partly implements PEP 250 -- the rest is waiting on a change to bdist_wininst. What's the status of this change? Going to make it in? Please see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=449054&group_id=5470 if you haven't already... Greg -- Greg Ward - geek-at-large gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/ Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they *aren't* out to get you.

Sure, will do it before 2.2a3. That's Sep 19, right?
Looking at the patch again, it seems sufficient to install into lib/site-packages if sys.version >= 2.2. No fiddling with loading python at runtime, importing distutils.sysconfig, and so on in bdist_wininst. Thomas

The sooner the better -- this is a "priority 9" patch!

Sure, whatever. Up to your best judgment; I've never actually looked at the C++ code that's compiled into that big blob of binary data in bdist_wininst.py. The C++ probably wouldn't mean much more to me than the binary blob does. ;-) Greg -- Greg Ward - Unix geek gward@python.net http://starship.python.net/~gward/ My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that I am right.

Greg I've just checked in the changes needed for the bdist_wininst command.
