New submission from Paul Moore <p.f.mo...@gmail.com>:
I am trying to create a pysetup package that contains a precompiled binary
extension, which can be installed without compiling, by using the resource file
feature of setup.cfg. This may be incorrect usage of pysetup, but at a minimum,
a proper error message should be given rather than a traceback.
With a directory containing an extension hello.pyd plus the following setup.cfg
file:
[metadata]
name = hello
version = 0.1
author = Paul Moore
author-email = p.f.mo...@gmail.com
summary = Test C extension
[files]
resources =
hello.pyd = {platlib}
I get a traceback when I do pysetup install:
PS D:\Data\python-sample\bin> pysetup install
Installing from source directory: 'D:\\Data\\python-sample\\bin'

TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface
If this configuration is invalid a better error message should be given.
However, I would also like to know what (if any) would be the correct way of
writing a setup.cfg file to install a compiled extension like this.
For background on why I am trying to do things in this (odd) way, see the
python-dev thread starting at
