Well, it's a general purpose distro, but Gentoo (www.gentoo.org) relies on Python as it's package management system is written in Python & Bash. most python things I use are available, but scipy is masked at the moment (this means that there is a problem with the package - you can normally use masked packages, but at your own risk ;). Also, it should be noted that unlike most other distro's, Gentoo is a source distro: the package system downloads and builds for your system and so you can set global preferences, such as the optimisation level or processor support. It just takes a few CPU more cycles to upgrade things. HTH, John McCallum -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
