The bootstrap install should be very simple. If you make python usage dependent on: 1) download java 2) install java 3) add java to path 4) download ant 5) install ant 6) add ant to path 7) download ptyhon 8) install python 9) add python to path 10) download package 11) run ant to install package just food for thought, Mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I know distutils well but don't know anything about Ant except that it > is a build > tool from Apache project. > > Could it possible be better or as good as distutils? > (There are extensions for Python.) > > Chris > -- The greatest performance improvement occurs on the transition of from the non-working state to the working state. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
