No. It's probably as simple as removing the -E from the test code, but I
need to check my assumptions and make sure there isn't some other reason -E
is needed. It's on my list for when I get back to work on setuptools
stuff, hopefully later this week. A bunch of people at OSAF are currently
blocked on other work I'm doing for them, so setuptools ATM is lower on my
priority list, as is pretty much any other programming work.
Of course, if somebody else wants to hazard an investigation into what, if
anything, might be broken by removing the -E, ... oh crap.
There's probably a heck of a lot simpler way to fix this: use the
--site-dirs option to easy_install, or set it in a distutils configuration
file. Duh. I should've thought of suggesting that before. Here's the bit
from the docs:
``--site-dirs=DIRLIST, -S DIRLIST`` (New in 0.6a1)
Specify one or more custom "site" directories (separated by
commas). "Site" directories are directories where ``.pth`` files are
processed, such as the main Python ``site-packages`` directory. As of
0.6a10, EasyInstall automatically detects whether a given directory
processes ``.pth`` files (or can be made to do so), so you should not
normally need to use this option. It is now only necessary if you want to
override EasyInstall's judgment and force an installation directory to be
treated as if it supported ``.pth`` files.
I should probably still look into removing the -E, but this is probably a
sufficient immediate workaround for your current situation. Sorry I didn't
think of it before.
