Hi Guy, That is the ultimate idea when things settle down... I was thinking that we needed to get some more input from testers before putting anything on pypi, but I've never actually released anything there, so I'm not certain of the exact protocol. Is it not expected that most of the packages there are stable releases? The other issue is our dependency on wxPython 2.9.4. Even the wxPython folks don't have binary releases yet, and the package managers (that I've seen) are still on 2.8.x. If I'm wrong, I think it's a great idea! thanks, -steve On Jan 21, 2013, at 3:57 PM, Guy K.
