I know. I said it was not satisfactory and that the real tricky part wasn't calculating the path but determining whether --prefix was explicitly provided or not. Ooh! But if install_cmd.prefix != sys.prefix, then --prefix must have been explicitly set by the user! Eureka! Now I just have to figure out a way to find out if --install-dir wasn't set.... -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "In the fields of hell where the grass grows high Are the graves of dreams allowed to die." -- Richard Harter _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
