But I'm exactly concerned with minority platforms here: people who have packagers can manage without our help. Are you going to make an installer for Solaris? AIX? Then at least help these people build Python from source -- with "known compatible versions". I *don't* think it should be done for beta versions, only as an alternative release -- a "rich source release". (If I have some time, I might try to build something like that for 2.0 final, at any rate.) I'm currently drawing a list for extensions to include: -- zlib -- Tcl/Tk -- expat -- PIL -- Anything else? I really want something with "everything" in it. My motivation: I work on quite a few Unixes at work (AIX, Solaris, HP and probably more to come). Installing Python on any of these is a pain -- exactly because of the need to download 5-6 packages, and install them iteratively. -- Moshe Zadka <moshez@math.huji.ac.il> There is no GOD but Python, and HTTP is its prophet. http://advogato.org/person/moshez
