[Pythonsiphon-devel] new release

From: Suchandra T. <s-t...@al...> - 2002-02-14 23:25:06

    I've been a little too busy to get much work on ciphon done, but I
have a little more time and will hopefully be completing a new relase by
early next week.  I'm adding native tar file reading, windows support,
better error/status messages, some initial support for binary packages,
and an integrated bug report facility.  Most of these are already completed,
I just need to finish some loose ends and test them to make sure everything
is working properly.

Sounds great!
Are you going to use the CVS repository on SF again, or do you only
use SF to release the distribution?

    I primarily use SF for releases and keep the code on a CVS repository
on my local machine.  
    I did have a question for you regarding windows.  Currently ciphon 
keeps its' settings in the user's home directory on windows is there
any particular location to place this information or could I just use
something like Program Files/Ciphon/?

Don't you think ciphon would improve faster with collaborative development?

Well, as numerous threads on c.l.p show, there is no real 'home directory'
on windows. Why don't you install ciphon with distutils, where the
top-level script would go into the python Scripts directory, and you
could also store the configuration there.
The problem with 'Program Files'\Ciphon is that this directory also
depends on the windows version/language/maybe other stuff.
To be sure, this directory has to be retrieved from the registry
or with a win32 API call. For example, in german versions of windows
this directory is named 'Programme'.

A simple solution would be to make the directory overridable by an
environment variable, like CIPHON_HOME, if it exists, use it, else use
HOME, else fail.
