Is it time for a new PyPRP release?

[Marcello]

For those coordinating all the efforts: feel free to contact me to work on tutorials, both new ones and old ones. I'm more than happy to rewrite some of my own or actually finish one or two that I never got to finish (this time all new and improved). I'd also be more than happy to testdrive tutorials by others by making some test ages and stuff.

Oh ... one little thing ... to whoever compiles the next release ... when you zip up the files, please do NOT have the /scr path in the zip ... as it simply causes unnecessary confusion (for first time installers) ...

maybe we could make an installer program for a change

Guilty. I want to continue the blender tutorial, but I can't find that cursed file path to put in PyPRP. (I'll try again later.)

Good point. Putting all the Python files at the top level of the archive would make it a bit hard to find the Readme, documentation etc. though. Perhaps giving that folder a more human-readable name, like "scripts", would help already?

Along these lines, I've also wondered whether giving the thing a proper Python package structure would make the heap of loose files a bit more manageable.

I strongly dislike installers myself, but I know that Windows users are trained to expect them. If that was meant seriously, then please do it as an addition to the plain manual-install package, not as a replacement.

We should be able to help with that, but let's not do that here in this thread, it's long enough already. Please start a new thread, or PM me or somebody else, or ask on IRC. Edit: There's some discussion about it in this thread.

It was meant seriously, and it was meant as an addition only It could include all the prerequisities (excluding blender ofcourse), so new users wouldn't have to install a gazillion plugins to python before finally running pyprp

I'd be in favour of starting Christian Walther's plan of action, and organizing a documentation project in parallel with it.
So, how about getting it started?

Sounds good to me.
