Hi All,On a related note, is there a 'best' way to install python packages on amac nowadays? It seems that there at least three possibilities: - plain old setup.py install - bdist_mpkg - eggsI've been using bdist_mpkg a lot recently, but this discussion is makingme think it may not the preferred way. Any opinions?
I've been using setup.py install until now (with adding an extra_path argument to setup.py to make it easier to uninstall). bdist_mpkg is a nice way to distribute binary packages, but doesn't have enough advantages if you don't distribute the resulting packages, mostly because there is no uninstaller.
I'll probably switch to setuptools/eggs sometime soon because it is better than anything we have now on OSX and PJE has an (IMHO) good vision of a complete package management solution.
