Re: [Pythoncard-users] Pushing for Pythoncard 1.0

[Christoph S. <cs...@bo...>]

First of all, thanks to all who invested time into this wonderful
project and for now especially to John for pushing hard to keep it alive.
John, let me add to that, I am lurking on this list, checking the mail
every 2-3 weeks. I've followed your posts lately with great interest,
but to be honest, I was waiting for something released to install and
test. Now I have checked out the 1.0 and it seems it is not what I was
after:

- The checkout command on
http://code.google.com/p/pythoncard-1-0/source/checkout produces a
directory with a starting space, looking like:

" pythoncard-1-0 --username xx...@gm..." (note the leading space)

First of all I had quite some problems entering/renaming the directory
as my shell cmdline-completion was unable to deal with it.
When I managed to enter that directory I had no pythoncard but some
stuff that looks more like svn-internals.

I really do love pythoncard and I am willing to help with testing
wherever I can. Please John, do not stop your efforts because nobody
seems interested. I guarantee there are a lot of people that are, I bet
once the first downloadable .tgz hits the web you get dozens of
downloads daily!

Again, thanks for the time and work invested in the project. I look
unpatiently forward to your 1.0 release .

Cheers,
Christoph
