Hmmm. Are you sure you don't just want to distribute fwrap as a separate project, then? Personally, I will always prefer a second package over an optional component. If I had a project that used fwrap to build, I would want my prerequisite installation instructions to be this: 1. Install Cython. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython 2. Install fwrap. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fwrap rather than this: 1. Download the source tarball of Cython. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Cython 2. Install Cython using "python setup.py install" 3. cd Tools/fwrap/ 4. Install fwrap using "python setup.py install" With the latter, there will inevitably be some Linux distribution that will put both Cython and fwrap into their python-cython package and some who won't. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
