There's another strategy for making packages that I thought I'd bring up -- using PYTHONPATH and creating a large bundled package. That means, if you have an application, distribute all the dependencies in the application's package. Stuff them in /usr/share/PKG/lib or something.
This doesn't work for installation of libraries, but then you never *need* to install a library as a package. It's the application you are ultimately interested in deploying and distributing. And I think the non-system-package installation techniques are generally much more appropriate for the actual development process. I don't think the bundled package is necessarily *easy* to build right now. But the result seems easy to manage. I don't really know much about the build process for packages, so what is ultimately involved to do this I'm not sure. -- Ian Bicking / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://blog.ianbicking.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
