To Do List Update On the good news front, I've managed to achieve one of the things on my to do list. I've fixed the distutils support in PythonCard and we can now create source distributions for Windows and *nix as well as a Windows binary installer. Expect to see these when version 0.6.5 ships in the very near future. The down side is that this has resulted in me adding another task to my to do list. I've got to raise a bug reports for a couple of "features" I found when resolving our outstanding packaging issues. I've got workarounds but as a good open source community member it is incumbent on me to report the issues I've found. Hopefully it will help those who follow me, and may even prompt someone to provide a patch to the code. comment()   12:18:53 PM

PythonCard Wiki The PythonCard project now has a Wiki. For those not familiar with the term, try this definition. For anyone averse to hyper-linking just let me say that it is a web site written by its users, a collaborative documentation effort. This will enable anyone to add value to the project without needing to know the intricacies of cvs, or html, and gives us a common repository of useful, up to date information. There is only one drawback so far, because the PythonCard pages are actually part of the wxPyWiki (try saying that after a couple of cleansing ales) there is no way to distinguish between PythonCard entries and wxPython pages. I've started a thread on the mailing list about this but the only two options I can see are that we prefix the PythonCard entries with an identifier (such as "PC") or that we create our own stand alone Wiki. comment()   12:14:17 PM
