Just a suggestion for the next release: why not include roman.py as a submodule of docutils? There are lots of problems people have with the status quo, where roman is distributed and installed as a separate toplevel module... Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out. |

The last time this was suggested, David Goodger did not want to do so since docutils is public domain whereas roman.py has a copyright and furthermore that he did not want to ask the author to release it into the public domain. See the thread "roman.py in site-packages" in docutils-user on 2008-07-22. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco |

However if you can be specific about the "problems" you encounter, it may prove possible to change his mind. Cheers, Alan Isaac |
