Did you see my last comment on the Jython thread, about eggs created on Jython? I was hoping you'd comment: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2008-January/008715.html Also, I just came across an issue while installing simplejson on Jython, but I noticed it's also been reported on other platforms (native_libs.txt doesn't exist). http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-December/469174.html http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-610534.html It looks like it's due to the fact that simplejson includes an optional C speedup extension. It overrides the distutils build_ext command so it can swallow any compiler errors (and skip building the extension). I guess it must be faking out setuptools into thinking there'll be a native_libs.txt when there won't be. I'm going to investigate it more this week. I also just noticed there's problems with ez_setup.py on jython on Windows -- though this might not be setuptools fault -- just FYI, it's on my radar to investigate that as well before your final release. -- Philip Jenvey _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
