Awesome.

OT question,
Should this effect the PATH in the shell that called addtopath.py?

os.environ['PATH'] = os.environ['PATH'] + ';' + DirToAdd

currently I have an inst.bat with lines like this:

addtopath.py svn-win32-1.4.4\bin
path %path%;"%ProgramFiles%\svn-win32-1.4.4\bin"

Be nice to consolidate.

and just in case I haven't hijacked my own thread enough:
does
pywin32-210.win32-py2.5.exe
have any command line switches so I don't have to hit 'next next...'?
