I'm curious, how would one create a new layout? (as in a --layout=deb alternative). I'd very much like to have a layout that doesn't include any version information in the path, which both "deb" and "unix" do. Ideally, output would look pretty much like:
bin/ bin/script1 bin/script2 lib/ lib/some_c_ext.so lib/python/ lib/python/packagename/ lib/python/packagename/__init__.py lib/python/packagename/core.py Something simple, without the unnecessary layers of "usr", "local", "site-packages", "python2.7" etc. The purpose is to be put into a self-contained archive, so it's completely unnecessary to include such namespacing (it will never be mixed in with any other files). Is this possible? not worth it? Right now to achieve at least version independence on the paths I'm running : python setup.py install --root="$DISTDIR" --single-version-externally-managed --install-layout=deb && \ mv "$DISTDIR/usr/lib/"python* "$DISTDIR/usr/lib/python" which is hacky, but works. And you end up with paths like "usr/lib/python/dist-packages" inside the archive, which is just unnecessarily nested for a standalone archive. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
