Hi, I'm currently working on a package <http://www.scipy.org/MlabWrap> making the move from distutils to setuptools and I've got the following problem: although the code itself should work fine out of an egg, testing requires some a directory with some files to be created for matlab. Since it's only needed for testing I don't want to clutter the installers HD.
How should I best handle this? Currently I'm just using ``zip_safe=False``, but a more elegant solution would seem to be for the test-code to temporarily unpack the relevant files from the egg into some temp-dir run the tests and delete the temp files again. I figure other projects might face a similar situation and I was wondering if some good solution is already available, or if I just should hack something together. cheers 'as _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
