Hello everyone on distutils-sig@, this is a first timer, please be gentle to me *g*
I am just starting with setuptools, and I just cannot get my idea working: At install time, I'd like to generate a file with a random UID, which will later always be the same. I had hoped for a setup('postinstall'='my.py') or setup('preinstall'= ...) but there isn't one. Then I have been trying with a customized distutils.command.install.install class - but so far with no success. Here is a detailed explanation of my futile attempts: https://github.com/altsheets/coinquery/blob/master/README-setupCustom.md I guess this is be a pretty frequent question? Happy about any hints. Thanks. :-)
