Not quite. But you should definitively have a look at setuptools before proceeding to reinventing the SquareWheel(tm): http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools -- bruno desthuilliers python -c "print '@'.join(['.'.join([w[::-1] for w in p.split('.')]) for p in '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.split('@')])" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
