Hi, I have developed a python program that contains multiple python modules and static content in the form of fonts (pil,pbm and tff files), html, images, css and javascript.
I want to share the program with others as a python package. I have followed the instructions at http://guide.python-distribute.org/creation.html I have created an identical structure (apart from directory naming) as specified in the link, with the exception of a "static" directory within the module directory (towelstuff in the example). Within this directory are sub-directories named "css", "html", "images", "fonts" and "js". TowelStuff/ bin/ run.py CHANGES.txt docs/ LICENSE.txt MANIFEST.in README.txt setup.py towelstuff/ __init__.py module1.py module2.py static/ images/someimage.png css/ html/ js/ fonts/ When the user install the program using "python setup.py install", the modules (in towelstuff) are copied to the common python library path (e.g. /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/), but the static content is not (understandably). What is common method to distribute static content, and how to I make reference to it in my python program? For programs in TowelStuff/bin (i.e. run.py), I currently make reference to the static content like so: sys.path[0] + "../towelstuff/static/images/someimage.png" I am sure there is a more pythonic way of doing this ... Thanks in advance for the help. Vince -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
