Peter Waller <peter.wal...@gmail.com> added the comment: Hi - Great to see this functionality coming. There is one feature of it that I would really like to see fixed, which is currently broken in setuptools/distribute - I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum for this note, but I wanted to add it to the discussion somewhere.
That feature is the "package_dir" argument to setup(). If the sources aren't in the root directory, the package doesn't function correctly with `python setup.py develop` Here is a reference to an issue filed against distribute: https://bitbucket.org/tarek/distribute/issue/177/setuppy-develop-doesnt-support-package_dir-arg-to Is there any possibility of seeing this work correctly? A lot of packages use it, and for them, `develop` is currently broken. Apologies if this feature is implemented and I missed it, but I see no reference to "package_dir" in the patch, so I would be (pleasantly) surprised if it was implemented. I would be happy to provide a testcase on request. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8668> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
