Well, I have come up with a solution for how to get the man page in the right

#!/usr/bin/env python
import distribute_setup
distribute_setup.use_setuptools()
from setuptools import setup
# Use the distutils version of the install command rather
Robert,
Thanks that was very helpful. Here is what I have come up with:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import distribute_setup
distribute_setup.use_setuptools()
from setuptools import setup
from distutils.command.build import build as _build
class build(_build):
# Overload the built-in build comma
Currently I am use an import in my setup script to build a file I need during
the install. Specifically:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import distribute_setup
distribute_setup.use_setuptools()
from setuptools import setup
import manpage # simply importing manpage creates the ec.1 as a side effect
setup
All,
I am converting from the old setup tools to distribute and am having
trouble
with installing man pages for my project.
The relevant part of my setup script is:
setup(
...,
scripts=['ec'],
data_files=[
('man/man1', ['ec.1'])
]
)
When I would install using the --us
