No. Then any Python script or application will need to know where OB has installed the Python module. That presents a chicken-and-egg problem -- how do you tell the Python script where to find openbabel.py without something installed in the standard Python module search path. Python distutils makes this easy -- the "issue" here in the bug report is that there's currently a mismatch between CMake and distutils IMHO. John's suggestion to use --root is a good one. -Geoff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ OpenBabel-Devel mailing list OpenBabel-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openbabel-devel
