subversion revision number string within an application packaged with distutils?
Is there a standard recipe for getting the subversion revision number into my Python-based application each time I package it up with distutils? (Not just the package name, but also a string that I will display in my app's "About" dialog.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Win32: shortpathname to longpathname
I wrap my cross platform application up with py2exe on Windows, and have the installer associate a particular file type with it. When a user double clicks on a document to launch my application, Windows appears to pass me the "short" Windows pathname. How can I convert to the long version of the pathname? (Ideally using the standard library rather than win32all AKA pywin32.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
