In setuptools 0.6c5, a broken symlink in the package tree will cause 'setup develop' to fail, even in the file is inconsequential for the package. I think this is a bug.
Here is the output of running "python setup.py develop" in a package called flydra with a broken symlink called broken.symlink: running develop running egg_info writing flydra.egg-info/PKG-INFO writing top-level names to flydra.egg-info/top_level.txt writing dependency_links to flydra.egg-info/dependency_links.txt writing entry points to flydra.egg-info/entry_points.txt error: broken.symlink: No such file or directory (I would try this using setuptools==dev, but it seems svn.python.org is down, or at least my connection to it.) -Andrew _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
