New submission from Tres Seaver <tsea...@palladion.com>: A bare distutils install of a package with 'headers' passed to 'setup()' dispatches to 'install_headers', which copies the exported header files into the system include path.
'easy_install' bypasses the distutils 'install()' when doing a normal egg install, and does not re-implement the 'install_headers' dance. Furthermore, the 'bdist_egg' it creates, even though it contains the header files, has no metadata which would allow the installer to discover that they should be copied. ---------- messages: 669 nosy: tseaver priority: bug status: unread title: easy_install ignores 'headers' passed to setup() _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setupto...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue142> _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
