Not out-of-box, no. The OOF2 project has added a bdist_shlib command which should do most of what you want, though. It's somewhat UNIX-oriented, and I think it tries to install the shared library to a standard location (e.g. /usr/local/lib). You might want to modify it to install the shared library in the package so it is easy to locate at runtime. http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2/ http://www.ctcms.nist.gov/oof/oof2/source/oof2-2.0.1.tar.gz The code is in the shlib/ subdirectory. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
