I'm working on increasing my setuptools-foo-zen-karma-whatever, and have a question. According to the docs at http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#installation-instructions, you just need to download ez_setup.py and run it to install setuptools. I'm trying to install to a custom location. When I run the following command:
$ PYTHONPATH=lib/ python ez_setup.py --script-dir bin/ --install-dir lib/ -a --site-dirs lib/ setuptools is installed as requested, but the following error is reported Installed /home/nathan/Projects/zope.i18n/lib/setuptools-0.6b1-py2.4.egg Processing dependencies for setuptools==0.6b1 error: No urls, filenames, or requirements specified (see --help) On a separate topic, echoing Jim's comments regarding paths, it seems silly that when I use the following command (omitting the explicit PYTHONPATH): $ python ez_setup.py --script-dir bin/ --install-dir lib/ -a --site-dirs lib/ I'm told that ./lib is not on sys.path; isn't the point of site-dirs to assert that a directory *will be* on the Python path? I'll be the first to acknowledge that I may be missing some fundamental point here. Thanks, Nathan _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
