Has anyone tried anything that involves setting the distutils options (e.g., where to install libraries) from sitecustomize or some other Python location? I want to put in logic that is more complex than can be expressed in a configuration file. Setuptools-specific is a-ok too. Monkeypatching distutils doesn't particularly bother me in this case either. Though that's not great either (if it goes in sitecustomize), since it means that there's an overhead to every Python startup to load distutils and patch it, even if distutils wouldn't have otherwise loaded.
Jim Fulton asked about something similar on IRC too -- actually about having an easy_install binary that installed to a different location than normal (to the Zope instance path). Similar in that however such a script might work it might need to do similar things, setting distutils options at runtime. -- Ian Bicking / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
