Not all that revolutionary, but an interesting migration path. FWIW, I think the underlying issue is a real one. We're starting to have more and more conflicts, even among package names.

I just tried this, in fact: cd /usr/lib/python1.5 mkdir -p org/python (cd org/python; ln -s ../.. core) touch __init__.py org/__init__.py org/python/__init__.py >>> from org.python.core import rfc822 >>> import profile So this seems to make things nice and backwards compatible. My only concern was having __init__.py in /usr/lib/python1.5, but this doesn't seem to break anything. Of course, if you are using some trendy new atrocity like Windoze, this might not work. -- andy dustman | programmer/analyst | comstar communications corporation telephone: 770.485.6025 / 706.549.7689 | icq: 32922760 | pgp: 0xc72f3f1d _______________________________________________ Crew maillist - Crew at starship.python.net http://starship.python.net/mailman/listinfo/crew
