there are however some issues... I have packaged pyncurses (http://pyncurses.sourceforge.net), which is a new, object oriented interface for ncurses. I cannot rename it to python-ncurses, since that is an upstream name of another program (and python-curses is yet another). python-pyncurses is a pleonasm, and looks like python interface for pyncurses. So far I have settled on plain pyncurses, moreover if all the libraries for python have to begin with python- (and similarily for perl etc.), it looks like hungarian notation, which few people like. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabik http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
