Not a problem, and I had figured on being the "point man" on keeping it working. My query here was more along the lines of "is Demo/imputil/ a good idea? If so, then I'll run with it." You said "yes", so I'll go put on my shoes. > Maybe at some point the Demo directory should become a separate > distribution, or just a collection of stuff on the web? I believe a separate distribution. Unpacking the bugger to the main web site would also be a good option, but that would be a second priority. I'd throw Tools into the same thing. As a separate distro, you can have a faster release cycle. ... you could release Idle updates easily and distinctly from the Python core. Note: by a "collection on the web", the only view that I have, is that the collection exists on the python.org web site. Distributed pieces "here and there" is handled by the Vaults (and similar). The Demo/ directory is a bit more newbie-ish, so (IMO) it ought to get bundled up somehow since the Vaults are a bit daunting to find "example of embedding". If the bundle also happens to reside in an obvious area on python.org? Great. Cheers, -g -- Greg Stein, http://www.lyra.org/
