Want to try to hack something > together one of these days? (Probably not for 2.0, though.) To me this seems like a big waste of time. I see nothing broken with the current setup. The verbosity is taken care of by "make -s", for individuals who don't want Make saying anything. Another useful option is "make --no-print-directory"; this removes Make's noisiness about changing directories. If the pgen output really bothers you, then let's direct it to /dev/null. None of these issues seem to require getting rid of the Makefile recursion. If it ain't broken, don't fix it! --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.pythonlabs.com/~guido/)
