Package: python2.6
Version: 2.6.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
I have a setup.py file looking like:
from distutils.core import setup
setup(name='gcinvoice',
py_modules=['gcinvoice'],
)
Using this setup under python2.5 gives:
python2.5 setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local/stow/test
[...]
running install_lib
creating /usr/local/stow/test
creating /usr/local/stow/test/lib
creating /usr/local/stow/test/lib/python2.5
creating /usr/local/stow/test/lib/python2.5/site-packages
copying build/lib/gcinvoice.py ->
/usr/local/stow/test/lib/python2.5/site-packages
But using python2.6 I get:
python2.6 setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local/stow/test
[...]
creating /usr/local/stow/test
creating /usr/local/stow/test/local
creating /usr/local/stow/test/local/lib
creating /usr/local/stow/test/local/lib/python2.6
creating /usr/local/stow/test/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/gcinvoice.py ->
/usr/local/stow/test/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
Here, there is an additional 'local' directory, and instead of
site-packages I get dist-packages. This looks wrong for me; the
documentation of python2.6
(file:///usr/share/doc/python2.6/html/install/index.html) states:
"In either case, the --prefix option defines the installation base, and
the --exec-prefix option defines the platform-specific installation
base, which is used for platform-specific files. (Currently, this just
means non-pure module distributions, but could be expanded to C
libraries, binary executables, etc.) If --exec-prefix is not supplied,
it defaults to --prefix. Files are installed as follows:
Type of file Installation Directory Override option
pure module distribution prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
--install-purelib
"
I.e. there should be no "local" under "prefix", and it should be
"site-packages".
Best Regards, Roman
