I wonder if, in general, 'python setup.py install --prefix=%i' is the wrong idiom for the case where one wants to install in a temp location and then copy to the actual runtime location later.
Looking at the output of 'python2.2 setup.py --help install', I see: --prefix installation prefix --root install everything relative to this alternate root directory I just tried 'python setup.py install --root=%d' and wound up with files in %d%p, and the messages embedded in those .pyc contain the string %p, not %d%p (where before with --prefix=%i, they contained %i). dan Andrea Riciputi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > I's exactly what I'm looking for!
