Please, Please, Please, NO!
This seems to be the only solution to make "easy_install matplotlib"
actually work.
Well, I guess that question then is: how important is it for
"easy_install matplotlib" to work. Is it so bad to have to download
something? Anyway, I suppose there could be non-universal eggs for that,
if there is still a universal egg that can be downloaded.
I thought this was a rumor? A rumor that my G4 powerbook really hates.
Well rumor or no, they could change their mind any day anyway. I'm
pretty happy with my Dual G5 desktop too, but I'm not even running 10.5
yet, anyway.
No. Communicating with the setuptools people makes more sense to me,
but I am not currently on the distutils list.
nor am I, but maybe I'll post a message and see what we get. Just to be
clear:
Python version: 2.5 Universal from python.org
$ python setupegg.py bdist_egg
creates an egg called:
matplotlib-0.91.1-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg
which will install with:
$ easy_install name_of_egg.egg
if the name is changed to:
matplotlib-0.91.1-py2.5.egg
on both OS-X 10.5 and 10.4 (and 10.3.9?)
However, if the full name is used (with -fat, etc), then easy_install
tried to go download it from the net instead.
Also:
easy_install matplotlib
will not find the binary on PyPI, but rather try to download and build
the source.
Have I got that right?
Have you tried putting the binary up on pyPI with some of these
different names to see if it will find them?
