Hi, I am developing a small pet project that I call pyspread (A small spreadsheet that accepts Python in cells, further info at: http://pyspread.sf.net).
Now some users complained that it does not install correctly with easy_install even though distutils work. I tried for some time fixing it, but I was not too successful. The main problem is that the .pth file and the subdirectory are not created on installation, which works all right with python setup.py install. First, I thought that my easy_install installation is broken (I am using Debian testing with the version in the apt repository). However, after I read a few posts in this list, I believe that I stumbled into some gotchas that are definitively not in the main download page manual. Any idea how I could get the directories set up with easy install? Is this in a FAQ that I am unaware of? My setup.py code is posted below. You can find the bug report at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2036736&group_id=224598&atid=1062244 Thanks in advance Regards Martin --- setup.py --- #!/usr/bin/env python from distutils.core import setup from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib setup(name='pyspread', version='0.0.10a', description='A spreadsheet that accepts a pure python expression in each cell.', license='GPL v3 :: GNU General Public License', classifiers=[ 'Development Status :: 3 - Alpha', 'Intended Audience :: End Users/Desktop', ], author='Martin Manns', author_email='[EMAIL PROTECTED]', url='http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyspread/', requires=['numpy (>=1.1)', 'wx (>=2.7)'], scripts=['pyspread/pyspread.py'], packages=['pyspread'], package_dir={'pyspread': 'pyspread'}, package_data={'pyspread': ['icons/*.png', 'icons/actions/*.png', \ 'examples/*', \ 'doc/manual.html', 'README', 'COPYING']}, ) import distutils.sysconfig try: pthfile = open(get_python_lib() + "/pyspread.pth", 'w') pthfile.write("pyspread") pthfile.close() except IOError: print 'Creation of ' + distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() + ' pyspread.pth failed.' _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
