How do I know where the .txt files are at to rename them?
For a source distribution, you could play clever games in setup.py to put the right file in place, with the right name. But that's messy and it means that if you distribute wheels (not that there's much point in doing so) you need separate wheels for 2.6-, 2.7 and 3.3+. Alternatively, you could distribute all 3 files, as dbf \ - __init__.py - dbf_26.py - dbf_27.py - dbf_3.py Then in __init__.py do if sys.version_info[0] == 3: from .dbf_3 import * elif sys.version_info[:2] == (2, 7): from .dbf_27 import * else from .dbf_26 import * Paul _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
