lude any way to accomodate locally-built Pythons, unless they are built and installed as debs. This may or may not be a problem (some people may want to track CVS). I think this covers all of the important issues though. It may be needlessly complex, but it does support users having whatever Pythons they want installed and should allow most things to work.

/usr/lib/'+version+'/site-packages/my-package') sys.system(version+' -O compileall.py /usr/lib/'+version+'/site-packages/my-package') Seems short, simple, and to the point. The only downside is you won't automatically get new .pyc and .pyo files every time you install a new major version (in which case it might be nicer to go with something like a register/unregister system... YMMV). Chris -- Chris Lawrence <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://www.lordsutch.com/chris/w

ncompatible with the current Python packaging; if someone needs 1.5 on a woody box, and we drop it from woody, they'd have to build from source and debianize it themselves or install into /usr/local. Now, after woody is released, I can't see any good reason to keep 1.5 around for woody+1. But for now let's keep it around.
