AFAIK, I don't think so. The only reason I found was in the setuptools doc: "For maximum performance, Python packages are best installed as zip files."... In any case, we can not add -Z directly to PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLARGS now, otherwise we break all ports that install its egg zipped. It's necessary to fix their pkg-plist before or set PYDISTUTILS_AUTOPLIST in case. -- Nicola Vitale _______________________________________________ freebsd-python@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-python To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-python-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
