1) The layout for the python root directory for all platforms should be
as follows:
stdlib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}
platstdlib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}
purelib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}/site-packages
platlib = {base/userbase}/lib/python{py_version_short}/site-packages
include = {base/userbase}/include/python{py_version_short}
scripts = {base/userbase}/bin
data = {base/userbase}
Why?
Pure python vs compiled C doesn't need to be separated at the directory
level, except for cleanliness.
I am deliberately being cautious here. I actually agree with you. I am
only suggesting we maintain all of these different distinctions because
that is what we have already.
You can see what we have currently at
http://hg.python.org/distutils2/file/2cec52b682a9/distutils2/_backport/sysconfig.cfg
I am *not* suggesting that docs, etc change at all - that is included in
a different part of the configuration and is not modified by what I
propose here (lines 1-26).
As noted earlier in the thread, I also change my proposal to maintain
the existing differences between system installs and user installs.
Thus, the only place I am proposing changing are the values for the keys
listed above. Specifically, this (lines 57-65 in the file above):
[nt]
stdlib = {base}/Lib
platstdlib = {base}/Lib
purelib = {base}/Lib/site-packages
platlib = {base}/Lib/site-packages
include = {base}/Include
platinclude = {base}/Include
scripts = {base}/Scripts
data = {base}
Would become this:
[nt]
stdlib = {base}/lib
platstdlib = {base}/lib
purelib = {base}/lib/site-packages
platlib = {base}/lib/site-packages
include = {base}/include
platinclude = {base}/include
scripts = {base}/bin
data = {base}
and this (lines 86-93):
[nt_user]
stdlib = {userbase}/Python{py_version_nodot}
platstdlib = {userbase}/Python{py_version_nodot}
purelib = {userbase}/Python{py_version_nodot}/site-packages
platlib = {userbase}/Python{py_version_nodot}/site-packages
include = {userbase}/Python{py_version_nodot}/Include
scripts = {userbase}/Scripts
data = {userbase}
would become this:
[nt_user]
stdlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}
platstdlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_short}
purelib = {userbase}/python{py_version_nodot}/site-packages
platlib = {userbase}/python{py_version_nodot}/site-packages
include = {userbase}/python{py_version_nodot}/include
scripts = {userbase}/bin
data = {userbase}
... if you're rewriting that logic, you're just asking for bugs on a
strange platform that you don't use.
I am not rewriting the logic - the logic is driven by these
configuration values. And this is a platform I use, and that is why this
drives me crazy!
Subdirectories are:
You forgot one:
C:\python32\Scripts
Would change to C:\python32\bin. The python binary and scripts meant to
be run direction (easy_install, etc) would all go in this directory.
C:\python32\DLLs
Would not change.
C:\python32\Doc
Would not change.
C:\python32\include
Would be specified as lower case only - but otherwise would not change.
C:\python32\Lib
Would be specified as lower case only - but otherwise would not change.
C:\python32\libs
Would not change.
C:\python32\tcl
Would not change.
C:\python32\Tools
This proposal does not change this, although I do think that this could
be eliminated or made into "examples".
Thanks,
Van
