I just finished up a simple application that was just significant enough to get me familiar with all the features of bfg that i was curious about. So I thought it would be great to dump my brain for others who are curious.

This will likely be a series of posts that I’ll get up here over time so be sure to check back for updates....

Like every person who's compelled to blog, I check back to see what people are finding interesting, and if anyone leaves any comments. As of late, I noticed comments on my entry on how to install easy_install on Windows was getting lots of traffic from stackoverflow.com, and google. Heck yesterday I was surprised to see that google was ranking that page higher than the authors of easy_install in some instances.

Thanks to the good people over at stackoverflow I now have the power to deploy eggs(Python eggs that is). If you're not coding python, you probably don't give a shit anyway. But it's something which has been eluding me for quite sometime, and I'm now at the point where I needed something just like this. It's embarassing how simple it is.

Anyway, not much there yet. Mainly it's a proof of concept, but eventually I hope to make it a nice convenient place for my codez.

Sad Phaeton Eggs and for some god awful reason you would like to consult it in your development, just drop a .pydistutils.cfg in your home directory(probably c:\Documents and Settings\user if you're on windows). And in that file drop something like the following in it....

[easy_install]
find_links = http://eggs.sadphaeton.com

And done...
