Hi, This is why the right way to distribute *nix software is to distribute > software itself and ask the end-user to get all the dependencies (not > that hard these days). it is a wonderful idea, apart from two tiny nuances: 1) many have no idea about what the command line is, and 2) asking users going through the trouble of installing dependencies will scare them away from the software. Personally, I do not use programs that do not work right out of the box or take more than a minute to make it run. So, I would rather let the majority use whatever works, and let a few gurus count versions of Python in various software and how much space they take. Pavel
