I guess /Developer/... would make sense if the Python apps > got installed in /Developer/Applications/, which they don't. I'm also tempted to go with /Applications/MacPython-2.3/Demo and .../Tools. That is what a lot of Mac applications do. It has a slight problems, though: it would look unintuitive to a pure-unix user. But as there isn't a standard location for this on unix anyway: who cares <wink>. A slightly more serious problem is that the README's in Tools and Demo aren't really meant for the 100%-novice, and a prominent location at the top of the /Applications/MacPython-2.3 folder will make it almost-100%-certain that these files are going to be among the first they read. I could put Demo and Tools one level deeper (in an Extras folder?) and provide a readme there explaining that these demos and tools are for all Pythons on all platforms, so may not work and/or may not be intellegible int he first place. -- - Jack Jansen <Jack.Jansen@oratrix.com> http://www.cwi.nl/~jack - - If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman -
