Pete --http://www.petezilla.co.uk If you are using Python 2.6+ you have your own site-packages directory, e.g. ~/.local/lib/python2.6/site-packages. So, if this package is only for your own use, you can use easy_install's --install- dir option to have setuptools install it there, and can also set -- script-dir to ~/bin, where your console script will go. This, and other options are discussed here: http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#custom-installation-locations -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

However, I don't recommend this approach since it could conflict with your system Python packages. I like using virtualenv to create isolated Python environments. I can easily install whatever Python packages I want into each environment, delete them when I am done with them or messed up etc. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv -- Heikki Toivonen - http://heikkitoivonen.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Setuptools - help!
Chaps,
any ideas, I'm floundering - I don't quite get it. I have the following
files, setup.py and main.py in a directory pphoto:
# more setup.py
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name = Pphoto,
version = 0.1,
packages = find_packages(),
# other arguments here...
entry_points = {'console_scripts': ['foo = pphoto.main:HelloWorld',]}
)
bash-3.1# more main.py
def HelloWorld():
print Hello World!
print Odd world
From various websites that should produce a script foo that runs HelloWorld.
It does produce a script that simply crashes.
bash-3.1# foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
File /usr/bin/foo, line 8, in module
load_entry_point('Pphoto==0.1', 'console_scripts', 'foo')()
File build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py, line 277, in
load_entry_point
File build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py, line 2098, in
load_entry_point
File build/bdist.linux-i686/egg/pkg_resources.py, line 1831, in load
ImportError: No module named pphoto.main
bash-3.1#
Note, doing this as root as it seems not to do anything usefull at all if I
run python setup develop as a user.
Any ideas? I must be missing something fundamental?
Pete

You need to put main.py into the pphoto package.
$ mkdir pphoto/
$ mv main.py pphoto/
$ touch pphoto/__init__.py

that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had
an underlying truth.
