Pimp currently uses the OSX programs curl and tar to download distributions and unpack them. There is absolutely no reason not to use the urllib and tarfile modules for this.

Logged In: YES user_id=45365 There is actually a very good reason to use at least the tarfile module: if we use that in stead of unix tar we can fiddle pathnames while we unpack. Thereby we can do per-user installs of packages even if the tarfile was created for a system-wide installation. (That is, once the details of where per-user packages are going to be stored have been worked out).

Logged In: YES user_id=45365 Unpack has been implemented, downloading isn't that important, leaving that for later.

Logged In: YES user_id=45365 urllib2-based downloading has been implemented in pimp.py rev. 1.31 and 1.27.4.2, thanks to code donated by Kevin Ollivier.
