Hi there,
when you install a setuptools-equipped package with
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
the "install" stage writes to the build directory, as root. This is not great
behavior, and will fail on NFS-mounted build roots.
Can something be done to avoid this?
With the normal distutils, you can use the --skip-build option to install.
For setuptools, this also works, but only if you're using
--single-version-externally-managed and/or --root (i.e., the
distutils-compatible mode).
If you're not using the distutils-compatible mode, then do this:
python setup.py bdist_egg
sudo python setup.py easy_install dist/projectname-version-whatever.egg
To separate the build and install steps.
