Note that the Python standard library typically goes into /usr/lib/pythonX.Y (where X.Y is the version) on Unix. OTOH, the standard library includes DSOs as well as .py/.pyc files, wheres GRASS' Python libraries are pure Python. > > > Note that for C/C++ code we have a similar issue.

Well, there should be <angle brackets> around the name, but having the directory as part of the header name is intentional. The point was that the "source" versions of the header files don't live in a parent directory called "grass". The suggestion is to move all of the header files and subdirectories (except perhaps the "Make" directory) into a "grass" subdirectory, so that the source layout mirrors the installed layout. At the same time, we might want to reconsider whether the "Make" directory really belongs in "include". -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
