good news Peter - indeed chatpgt created the code that modifies the path :)
Certainly! Here's the modified code snippet to consider the `--prefix`
parameter for the `data_files` path you provided:
# Add the following code after the setup() function
if sys.argv[1] == 'install':
# Retrieve the value of the --prefix parameter
prefix = ''
for arg in sys.argv:
if arg.startswith('--prefix='):
prefix = arg.split('=')[1]
break
# Update the paths of data_files using the --prefix parameter
if prefix:
new_data_files = []
for data_path, files in setup_kwargs['data_files']:
new_data_path = os.path.join(prefix, data_path)
new_files = [os.path.join(new_data_path, file) for file in
files]
new_data_files.append((new_data_path, new_files))
setup_kwargs['data_files'] = new_data_files
```
In this modified code, the `data_files` list has been directly included in
the setup arguments with the appropriate paths. The rest of the code
remains the same as before.
Remember to pass the `--prefix` parameter when running the `setup.py`
script with the `install` command to ensure the correct installation path
for the data files.
