With system packaged the __init__.py is guaranteed to not even be installed. Try this: $ python setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --root xxx Also, if there are files alongside the __init__.py, they can cause filesystem conflicts in system packagers. dpkg will refuse to install a package if it would overwrite a file owned by another package. > > > > Tres > - -- > =================================================================== > Tres Seaver +1 540-429-0999 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Palladion Software "Excellence by Design" http://palladion.com > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFJQAqd+gerLs4ltQ4RAvHgAKCgjeyLLFqZUmhmhsd81Wm6RXlXyQCg2r0D > PNIFGNtvOwkYzsh9VSHEIy4= > =pcdI > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > _______________________________________________ > Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev > ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** > (Related lists - > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce > http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ) -- Brian Sutherland _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
