The file in question is matplotlib.conf.template, which exists in lib/matplotlib/mpl-data. There is a symlink in doc/mpl_data which points to lib/matplotlib/mpl-data. Eg in the mpl src tree:: jdhun...@bic128:mpl> ls -ld lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/ doc/mpl_data lrwxrwxrwx 1 jdhunter jdhunter 27 Jun 2 2008 doc/mpl_data -> ../lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/ drwxrwxr-x 6 jdhunter jdhunter 4096 Dec 10 13:09 lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/ Now create the sdist:: jdhun...@bic128:mpl> python setup.py sdist > sdist.out jdhun...@bic128:mpl> grep matplotlib.conf.template sdist.out hard linking doc/mpl_data/matplotlib.conf.template -> matplotlib-0.98.5/doc/mpl_data hard linking lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf.template -> matplotlib-0.98.5/lib/matplotlib/mpl-data If we create an sdist, the symlink is backwards: the tarball says lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf.template links to doc/mpl_data/matplotlib.conf.template and has zero content jdhun...@bic128:tmp> tar tvfz matplotlib-0.98.5.tar.gz |grep matplotlib.conf.template -rw-r--r-- cmoad/staff 13838 2008-12-09 17:53 matplotlib-0.98.5/doc/mpl_data/matplotlib.conf.templatehrw-r--r-- cmoad/staff 0 2008-12-09 17:53 matplotlib-0.98.5/lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf.template link to matplotlib-0.98.5/doc/mpl_data/matplotlib.conf.template If you unpack the tarball using a standard incantation, a copy is made:: jdhun...@bic128:tmp> tar xfz matplotlib-0.98.5.tar.gz jdhun...@bic128:tmp> cd matplotlib-0.98.5/ jdhun...@bic128:matplotlib-0.98.5> ls -ld doc/mpl_data/matplotlib.conf.template lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf.template -rw-r--r-- 2 jdhunter jdhunter 13838 Dec 9 17:53 doc/mpl_data/matplotlib.conf.template -rw-r--r-- 2 jdhunter jdhunter 13838 Dec 9 17:53 lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf.template I think what may be happening is that setuptools are reading the tarball using the python tarfile reader and the link is getting botched. However, I can read the "missing" file using tarfile:: In [17]: import tarfile In [18]: t = tarfile.open('dist/matplotlib-0.98.5.tar.gz') In [19]: o = t.extractfile('matplotlib-0.98.5/lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlib.conf') In [20]: s = o.read() In [21]: print s[:80] # MPLConfig - plaintext (in .conf format) # This is a sample matplotlib configu So I am not sure exactly what is going wrong but I think broken handling of the link is playing a role. I will probably work around this by removing the links and making hard copies myself before building the sdist and eggs, unless I hear something more intelligent from someone or come up with something better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
