This file is a an installer for an entire subsystem of python stuff, encoded with python pickle, built by their build script. If I understand what's going on, running it unpacks a tree of python *source*. So, it's no more good (or bad) than shipping a .tar.bz2 of some category A open source code (given the license). It would be more better, I suppose, to grab the corresponding source tree and run their build script as part of your build script, but I'm a bit puzzled as to whether this, as is, is actually a problem. > > Regards > Florian > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
