Hi all, I've used setuptools for a long time, and yet I've only just noticed this behavior. It came up because I wanted nose to run some installed tests, and it was mysterious as to why it wasn't finding them. Debug output from nose revealed the answer: it was skipping searching those modules because they're exectuable.
That's fine, because I can just add --exe to nose. But I was wondering why it is that easy_install sets 0755 on all files? Why not preserve the existing executable bit set on the file? Thanks, Erik _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
