Actually it does, indirectly Instead of doing 'python setup.py install', change the last parameter to bdist. You can add --format wininst, --format rpm and various other choices to make a package native to your platform. You can then use your platform tools to install and uninstall the files. Or you can use the zip/tar formats and keep track of the files by whatever means you want to. http://docs.python.org/dist/built-dist.html Roger -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
