INADA Naoki added the comment: I thought `inplace` option is for debugging/testing without install, not for installing or packaging.
As far as document [1], `inplace=1` in `setup.cfg` is noticed as: "which is probably a bad idea for this option, since always building extensions in-place would break installation of the module distribution." [1] https://docs.python.org/3.6/distutils/configfile.html#writing-the-setup-configuration-file So I don't know we should fix this or prohibit this. Is this works for commands other than `install`? How about sdist and bdist_wheel? ---------- nosy: +inada.naoki _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29225> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
