Hi,
I've been using distutils for a while now, but today I'm running
into what seems to be the "minimal strange issue". I want to in-
stall a single Python module without anything else, no package
around it, which resides in a source subdirectory of the main
project directory. My layout looks like the following:
Macintosh:Python dinu$ tree2.py -f mymodule
mymodule/
| setup.py
| src/
| | mymodule.py
Now common sense says all I need to do is define the module in
setup.py like this:
Macintosh:mymodule dinu$ more setup.py
from distutils.core import setup
setup(
py_modules = ["src/mymodule"],
)
Then, distutils does the following when running setup.py:
Macintosh:mymodule dinu$ py252 setup.py build
running build
running build_py
creating build
creating build/lib
creating build/lib/src
copying src/mymodule.py -> build/lib/src
And of course, I get the following structure built:
Macintosh:mymodule dinu$ tree2.py -f build
build/
| lib/
| | src/
| | | mymodule.py
And sure enough I don't want the "src" level. I can get rid
of it, but only after moving mymodule.py into the the main
project directory, and removing the "src/" in py_modules.
Instead, what I would *really* like is some smart combination
of setup parameters that would just do it. But so far, all my
efforts in finding combinations of py_modules, packages,
package_dir (dummy/fake package) and even package_data does
not do the trick. Now I'm desperately looking for a distutils
"Houdini" on this list.
Regards,
Dinu
