Re: [Visualpython-users] History and Status?

[Bruce S. <bas...@un...>]

I did ask about this at the time I was creating a Linux installer, and I
didn't get any clear answer. I was left with the impression that there is
quite a bit of flux in the Linux community. I think you should just poll
this VPython list for opinions and preferences; there seem to be plenty of
people reading this list who use Linux a lot. There doesn't seem to be one
right answer, so why not do what this group suggests?

The docs issue is an interesting one, in that here again there is quite a
bit of variation. For example, Windows Python comes with extensive
documentation, but at least in the past if I remember correctly Mac Python
didn't. I certainly want Visual docs to be included with Visual, at least
for most users, but maybe here again this is not okay with experts.
