I guess I'm thinking in terms of another method to install (get) web2py. We can do svn (but with some building)... to get the latest, but for the current "stable" version, maybe we could have easy_install as another cli installer (getter) for those that would like to do it that way.
Instead of bringing up a browser, going to web2py.com and finding the download, download it, unzip it, then run it, etc. just cd to some folder and easy_install web2py would get me a current version to work with. I'm influenced by the idea that plone is going to a full egg/buildout process for getting plone downloaded and available to run. This may not apply to web2py, though. I guess I can always make a shell alias for wget|curl web2py. alias crlw2py='curl -O http://mdp.cti.depaul.edu/examples/static/web2py_osx.zip' This is just food for thought.... thanks for everyones digital ears :) -wj On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 10:44 PM, Yarko Tymciurak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > easy_install xxxx is easier, does more for you than: > python setup.py install > so one's a good repalcement for the other... > but there IS NO setup.py in web2py --- there is NO INSTALL > so I think your thinking in general is good; in this instance, there is no > gain! :-) > Yarko > > On Sat, Nov 15, 2008 at 5:39 PM, Wes James <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> Would there be any benefit of eggifying web2py?
