Hi Guys, I've modified gmetad-python to use a python packaging convention and also created python setuptools script. The point is to be able to install gmetad-python using 'python setup.py install' and with some more work use setuptools packaging capabilities (creating source package, RPM).Former currently works fine, latter doesn't.
Attached is a simple script (convert-to-package.sh) that should be run in gmetad-python directory.It'll create Gmetad package, move necessary files into it, rename them appropriately and adjust every source file to use the new package. Next you should copy 'setup.py.in' script into gmetad-python directory and apply 'configure.in.patch' (both attached).Then run './bootstrap' and './configure' which will generate gmetad-python/setup.py.Finally in gmetad-python run 'python setup.py install'.I've tested it on a linux with a fresh ganglia trunk. Meta data in setup.py is far from been complete/correct, but it's trivial to extend/change it later on. During the file name conversion, gmetad_random.py was renamed to random.py which is using random module from the standard library.This has created name conflict (random.py would try to import itself), so I've renamed it again to grandom.py which might not be the best pick ;) -- Kuba
