Any hints?
Actually you probably want to look at describing the .pyd as an 
Extension. Then you can even give distutils the instructions to build 
it, and as a side effect you can install it to the right location
This may not be what you want though

There is distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() that works at least
since 2.2:

>>> from distutils import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_python_lib()
'/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages'

>>> from distutils import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_python_lib()
'/usr/lib64/python2.3/site-packages'

>>> from distutils import sysconfig
>>> sysconfig.get_python_lib()
'c:\\python24\\Lib\\site-packages'

ehh..  I did a little more reading and found that this function can be
easily done by the new distutils parameter "package_data" in 2.4.

However, I am using python2.3 :(

So, my question becomes: how to emulate the package_data function in
python 2.3?

distutils: package data

[Qiangning Hong]

I am writing a setup.py for my package.  I have a pre-compiled
myextmod.pyd file in my package and I want the distutils to
automatically copy it to
C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\mypackage\myextmod.pyd.

I try to add the following parameter to setup():

   data_file = [('mypackage', ['mypackage/myextmod.pyd'])],

but it installs the pyd file to C:\Python23\mypackage\myextmod.pyd,
this is not what I want.

And I don't want to specify the path in data_file to the absolution
path 'C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\mypackage', for portability, of
course.

Any hints?
