Calling this a "special" way of invoking Python is disingenuous at best: it's the documented *default* way of deploying and invoking a Python script with accompanying libraries. In contrast, the directory layout thread is about supporting virtualenvs, which aren't even *in* Python yet -- if anything is to be considered a special case, that would be it. The comparison to CSS is also lost on me here; creating user-specific CSS is more aptly comparable telling people to write their own virtualenv implementations from scratch, and resizing the browser window is more akin to telling people to create a virtualenv every time they *run* the application, rather than just once when installing it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
