Hi all, I don't post to this list very often, since I'm not using guile much these days. I use python by necessity (necessity=that or C++) for work. My work, however, involves principally writing and running single-use code for physics analyses. Installing this code would simply not make any sense. Hence I use uninstalled code quite extensively, almost exclusively. This seems to work quite well in python, which further seems to have unified package-internal references with uninstalled-code references very neatly. I can't comment on the security or reliability implications of Guido's arrangement, however. Just thought I'd weigh in with a use-case in the wild. Regards, Jon
