I don't think that's the point anymore. Because Andrea never used atop and
nobody has ever recommended using it (even Divmod guys).

It's like getting upset because Windows Vista because they rewrote the TCP/IP
stack while using Linux for everything.

There are many open source projects written in python for just about
everything. Installing a python software is a no brainer. Keeping up with the
svn development of many different projects is even simpler. Not reusing
projects because of dependencies is plain stupid.

If keeping up with many different SVN trees is hard use this:

import py

for x in py.path.local().listdir():
    if x.check(dir=False): continue
    wc = py.path.svnwc(x)
    if wc.check(versioned=True):
        print 'SVN', wc,
        wc_rev_old = wc.info().rev
        wc.update()
        wc_rev = wc.info().rev
        if wc_rev > wc_rev_old:
            print "... UPDATED from %s to %s" % (wc_rev_old, wc_rev),
        print
    elif x / 'CVS' in x.listdir():
        print "CVS", x
        try:
            old = x.chdir()
            out = py.process.cmdexec('cvs -q -z3 up -dP')
            old.chdir()
            if out.strip():
                print out
                print "="*20
        except py.process.cmdexec.Error, err:
            print err

this is a script I use to update my Projects directory in which there are
about 55 different projects that I use or that I keep track of.

Injecting additional dependencies is perfectly fine as long as it is a
meaningful dependency. There is NO, and I want to put some more emphasis on
it, NO REASON to avoid a dependency when, for example, you need to handle
dates, or when you need to handle system calls not wrapped in python or to add
some indexers and so on.

I hope this is clear enough. Anyway I'm not in position to take decisions for
anything that is not Nevow, and even there I'm still one in the developers
pool which means I'm just talking for myself (and I'm not a Divmod employee).
