Maybe what David is missing is that since python-dev is uninterested in the package management issue, the only remaining way to include package management in a convenient, single installation, is to

1) Create the package management tool 2) Create a bundled installer that will install both Python, the package management tool, and any dependencies of the package management tool 3) Advertise the availability of the bundle, and its usefulness* 4) See how many users try it out, and as new versions of Python are created, how many users keep coming back, in preference to the package management tool free python.org distribution.

David, may be my memory betrays me, but I think you ask you question not for the first but for the second, if not the third time. And every time you got exactly this answer - "Create the package management tool and see how many users try it out".

Oleg.

       Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
