Hi all.. Firstly, I would like to say thanks for the setuptools package, which I was introduced to after reading about the RuleDispatch package on the IBM developerworks charming python series. Oh btw. RuleDispatch is the most useful python package that I have seen in the last year in the python world, so thanks for that also ;)
Now that the congrats and hugs are out of the way, I would like to ask a question. How can I tell setuptools not to put packages, such as dispatch, protocols, and setuptools, in a subdirectory named the same as the egg and to just put the package name. For example from pydoc I currently get: c:\python\lib\site-packages\ruledispatch-0.5a0.dev_r2100-py2.4-win32.egg dispatch (package) c:\python\lib\site-packages\pyprotocols-1.0a0dev_r2082-py2.4-win32.egg dispatch protocols (package) c:\python\lib\site-packages\setuptools-0.6a8-py2.4.egg easy_install pkg_resources setuptools (package) site what I would like to see is just: ..\site-packages dispatch (package) ..\site-packages protocols (package) ..\site-packages setuptools (package) Maybe it is just a pet-peeve, but I like to keep a nice tidy site-packages directory, and these long directory names just seem to me to be pollution of my site-packages directory in my command shell. If there is an option to have just the packages, I would really appreciate someone telling me what it is. If not maybe it could be considered, and to put whatever meta-data the directory names are providing somewhere else..
