Logged In: YES user_id=149084 I'm not sure what is meant by "everyone should install from source or the native binary for his platform." My understanding is that Distutils was created to provide a uniform way to install third party packages. It seems that bdist_dumb has problems building a package distribution which will install properly. What about non-Linux or Windows systems? It rather looks like the code is unfinished.... To quote the TODO (DISTUTILS 1.1 PLANS): "* bdist_dumb should grow a little intelligence: let packager choose whether to make archive relative to prefix or the root (prefix is essential for proper Windows support )"
