Putting on my release-manager hat for a moment, I'll note that we currently *only* provide a source package and not an egg, and that's likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future, because Django is flat-out not zip-safe and probably never will be. As such, I'd strongly recommend against ever trying to install Django as an egg. Django *applications* also are not normally safe to install as eggs. Some parts of Django can handle the bizarre alternate reality setuptools creates (e.g., there's a template loader which knows how to look for templates inside eggs), but other parts can't (custom management commands will completely break, for example). -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
