This has many problems as well: you cannot install/update softwares without being root, there are problems when you don't have the right version, when the library/code is not packaged, etc... Don't get me wrong, I am glad that things like debian, rpm exist, but it is no panacea. There are simply no silver bullet to the deployment problem, and difference cases/user target may require different solutions. David -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
