My suggestion here is to stop looking for Django instructions, and treat this as a Python problem. Django is just another Python library; anything that is good practice for Python is also good practice for Django. Talking about "embedding libraries inside the Django installation" is almost exactly what you *don't* want to do. Django is a standalone library. Your library should be similarly standalone. The very short version is that you need to investigate distutils and setup.py; for more details, here's some reading: http://docs.python.org/distutils/index.html#distutils-index http://www.packtpub.com/article/writing-a-package-in-python You may also want to look into distribute, which is a set of tools that enhances distutils. http://packages.python.org/distribute/ Yours, Russ Magee %-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
