Subject: set the zip_safe flag to False
X-Git-Tag: allmydata-tahoe-0.6.0~134
X-Git-Url: https://git.rkrishnan.org/components/%22news.html/about.html?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9c272308e24d7b12a3821e32d4ff6d7265d6a780;p=tahoe-lafs%2Ftahoe-lafs.git

set the zip_safe flag to False
This means that by default the allmydata-tahoe egg will be a directory with a tree of files instead of a zip file containing files.  I prefer the former because it makes it easier for people to hack into it.
Unfortunately the files therein are still going to be .pyc's instead of .py's, if I understand correctly.  I would prefer for them to be .py's.  See also discussion on the distutils-sig mailing list:
