These hooks will be deactivated when any bdist_* command runs install to create the binary tree. Now for bdist_rpm own hooks, I guess the best way would be to make install consumes the same two options than bdist_rpm (pre-install, post-install) so a project will be able to define a hook that is used by RPM or python setup.py install > Jean-Paul > -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
