In researching an old ZODB bug about it's setup.py breaking the install --dry-run option, I tried using the option with the current ZODB and bobo setup.py scripts, using Python 2.6.5.
In both cases, I didn't get an error and the modules were installed in site-packages. While the ZODB setup.py is complicated, bobo's isn't. Both of these setup.py files used setuptools, so I assumed this was a bug in setuptools. Then I tried the distutils example: http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html#a-simple-example running python2.6 setup.py install --dry-run (or python2.6 setup.py install -n) installed the package. Am I missunderstanding something? Or is --dry-run an april fool's joke? :) Jim -- Jim Fulton _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
