Patrick Hunt commented on AVRO-136:
-----------------------------------
Yes, you do need setuptools to be installed. By README.txt, do you mean add a
README.txt to src/py
or add more information to the trunk/README.txt?
I ask because setuptools isn't necessary to build/run the py binding, it's only
necessary to package/install.
(I guess I could say that in the trunk readme)
As we have both egg and src packaging the end user can either:
1) use easy_install
2) get the source package (however) and use the process detailed here:
http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html#a-simple-example
afaik only python would be required for 2) (and simplejson would have to be
similarly installed)
>From a developer perspective simplejson is already included in the
>trunk/lib/py directory so it doesn't need to be fetched.
I will update the setup.py author information as you suggest (I'll take a
closer look at pypi account as well)
> add support for building/releasing python eggs
