Re: [gentoo-dev] python module
Yes in the meantime I found that eclass. The problem was, that there was no setup.py file. I created my own and put it into the files directory. Here is my ebuild: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101296 pyamazon is a Python wrapper for the Amazon web API. Homepage: http://www.josephson.org/projects/pyamazon/ You can check it out if you want. Comments are welcome.

If that works for you then I can't really see any reason why you shouldn't do it, but I find it far easier and cleaner to simply not use all the functions provided by distutils. It should be much simpler to implement whatever you need in ebuild functions, instead of doing them in setup.py and then calling that from the ebuild. I'm sure many python module ebuilds could show examples of this, but the only one I can direct you to for certain is dev-python/visual-3.2.1. --Colin -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
