Hi All, I am doing some grubby work on the Python Package Manager project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonpkgmgr/
After running and installing some packages.. with EasyInstall, my Easy-Install.pth file gets filled with the package and egg names. What I want to do is use these in a list of installed packages. And then later provide for deinstallation. I'm thinking of parsing this file to read all the package names.. My question is is there any way to do the same thing with setuptools? Forgive my ignorance - I am just hacking the code. :-) ---c:\python25\lib\site-packages\Easy-Install.pth----------------------------- import sys; sys.__plen = len(sys.path) ./setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg ./xmlmp-1.1-py2.5.egg ./xml2ddl-0.3.1-py2.5.egg ./xml_compare-1.0.5-py2.5.egg ./html5lib-0.11.1-py2.5.egg ./html2text-2.35-py2.5.egg import sys; new=sys.path[sys.__plen:]; del sys.path[sys.__plen:]; p=getattr(sys,'__egginsert',0); sys.path[p:p]=new; sys.__egginsert = p+len(new) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards David _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
