Hello,
I'm relatively new to python, and I have a few questions related to distutils.

1) If I attempt to install script files without a .py extension, distutils installs them twice- once with a .py extension and once without. Is there a way to work around that?


I've never seen the behavior you're describing. You should probably post your setup.py for us to see what you're doing.

I've attached it.

By "post", I mean posting it to the distutils-sig. I don't do private tech support - especially not for the distutils.


2) Is there a way to change the default install prefix from /usr to /usr/local?


You can change that systemwide by creating the appropriate config file. Please see the configuration file section of the "Installing Python Modules" manual.

Is there any way to change it within the script? It makes more sense to install my particular app into /usr/local than /usr.

It can be changed in lots of places, including the script or setup.cfg. Please see the manual.
