My geeky nature is eager to learn about these "less desirable design aspects" to see if they were really addressed, and what is the consensus of dh_python2, because practice shows that it is unlikely to be better than its three predecessors without some sacrifice. It will be even more interesting to see overview and a comparison for the new solution if it doesn't sacrifice anything at all. ,) -- anatoly t. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
