People are working on this.... for example, I am working on a Package Manager Project on sourceforge to solve exactly these problems. Hopefully soon we will be ready to do a release. In the spirit of open source, you would be welcome to join our project, and do some testing. Report some bugs etc. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonpkgmgr/ Best Regards David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
