The better the docs, the more module and extension authors will use distutils. Is the problem simply too generic for it to be logged as a documentation bug? (A bit like the famous DEC SIR: "VMS 2.0 does not work". DEC's response? "Fixed in next release"). Couldn't find anything in SF. regards ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Holden http://www.holdenweb.com/ Python Web Programming http://pydish.holdenweb.com/pwp/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------
