So saw stuff on Axiom and liked that then found mantissa only problem is nothing on web on how to get mantissa to work that actually works .. So I've lost a few hours trying to get it going with latest svn on python 2.5 (2.6 you get normal 2.5 code in 2.6 warnings (ie md5 etc) plus axiom/_pysqlite2.py needs to point to sqlite3 otherwise same errors) but keep getting the

Is that the issue with Combinator that if python source installs scripts you still need to install the source in your site-packages? So is Combinator still valid or shall I look at things like bzr and use same Twisted development method ie of branches?
