Yes. Use "setup.py install --single-version-externally-managed --root=Dest", which will do the installation in a way that's package manager friendly. I may change this at some point so that a --root (other than /) automatically triggers the other option, but at the moment I'm not sure whether that would interfere with anything else. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
