And the next question in the series - how to make sure the resulting package has a setup.py file?
The basic steps are... - build a python package - create a minimal setup.py - (github it, natch) - throw it at pypi with: python setup.py bdist upload - attempt to install it with: sudo pip install my_package and get this: Downloading/unpacking my_package ... IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.../setup.py' So the irony is if I had to use setup.py to build the MyPackage..tar.gz, why isn't it inside it? Any tips? (the actual package name is censored because I don't need people finding this if they google for that!;) (and this is a repost because I can't see my admittedly off-topic question on the newsgroup) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
