Hi, Every time I upgrade python I also have to download all packages and reinstall them.
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/articles/upgrading_python.html tells me that this is only a problem on windows for some reasons that have to do with binary distributions, compiling and more. This leads me to the questions: 1: Isn't there a better way? 2: Why is compilation needed for installation of a package? 3: Why isn't python backwards compatible so reinstallation is unneeded? 4: Would it help if python was compiled with gcc/mingw so installation would be the same as on other systems? 5: What about a package repository and a manager like miktex has? regards, -- Brian (remove the sport for mail) http://www.et.web.mek.dtu.dk/Staff/be/be.html http://www.rugbyklubben-speed.dk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
