Re: [Visualpython-users] Installer issues

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

To facilitate people trying out Arthur's ideas, I've put his distutils
machinery in the "contributed" section of http://vpython.org as a
pseudo-permanent place to find the machinery. There are two items there,
both with minor revisions by me (and labeled as such so that errors can be
ascribed to me rather than to Arthur!).

One of the files is just the setup.py program alone, and the other is a 3 MB
zip file containing all of the pieces other than Numeric (includes
idlefork). In particular, I added some stuff to provide the next/back/up
icons needed by the Visual docs, which they used to get from the Python doc
icons when the Visual docs were in the Python docs folder.

Arthur, as you come up with revisions or new ideas I'll be happy to post
them in the contributed section. I was stimulated to post things by a
request from a user for your files, due I think to the fleeting nature of
attachments (or their nonexistence for those readers who get the news as a
daily digest). On the other hand, you have your own web site and might
consider if you prefer putting test versions there. Whatever you like.
