Hi,
I have a suite of scripts that I develop on Debian Linux, python version 2.7.1 but the resulting server where the scripts are deployed to is Windows based. I struggled making my setup.py file include data I need for my testing suite, but in the end i succeeded by making a MANIFEST.in file containing "graft data" where data is the name of the directory containing my test data. Building an installable for Windows is easily done via python setup.py bdist_wininst So far so good; The data contains directories with non ascii characters like ø, é and so on. Checking the build/lib/mypackage/data reveals that the names are still correct on Linux. However, on Windows, the directory names aren't correct any more, the special chars are replaced with other weird chars. If I extract the .exe file on Windows using 7 zip, I can see that the directories in there are already wrong. How can I fix this? Is there a way to specify what encoding the directory names are using and how do I specify this in the setup.py script? Thanks, Regards, Benedict -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
