[HECnet] Re: pyDECnet --daemon option?

Right. It's documented that way in the installation instructions. I suppose I could do this differently. For those features that have dependencies that are optional, understand the switch or configuration flag even if it's not there, but then reject the request with a message explaining the dependency. So instead of "unrecognized arguments: --daemon" it would say something like: --daemon not supported; install library package "python-daemon" to enable this feature It could given the "pip" command line to do that -- or is "install library package x" clear enough? paul
