Re: Changing default key

Hi,

You points are correct, in my very limited experience.
What I personally do on my workstation is install pybliographic from
source in my home directory. This involves running configure and
make. See the README in the source distribution. Then after any
changes to the source files, I just recompile (make). You can link
the binaries to somewhere on your path, or set an alias.

This is easy enough, but a bit rough-and-ready, and not very sensible
if you were maintaining a proper multi-user system. So it would be
nice if you could do a system-wide install in /usr/local/, leave this
unmodified, but somehow link in user-defined functions from python
code in your home directory.
A few other people have been asking about this on the list.
Can the developers say how to do this? It's probably obvious to a
proper Python expert, but I'm not one of those.

Thank you

Dave
