Beeing able to use python to specify the installers behaviour (like checking what files to install on different systems, decrypting archives, etc.) is for me very attractive. AND, I have functional and well tested version on python 2.3. Hence, the best options seems at the moment to be: keep using python 2.3. -Svein -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
