Hi guys,I am new to distutils and trying to create a setup.py for a project, but i am having a problem. My project has this directory layout: / /AUTHORS /README /myproject (binary) /MyProject /MyProject/modules/ /MyProject/modules/first.py /MyProject/modules/__init__.py /MyProject/output/ /MyProject/output/second.py /MyProject/output/__init__.py /doc/manpage.1 Here's the setup.py that i did: from distutils.core import setup DATAFILES = [('/usr/share/man/man1', ['doc/manpage.1']), ('/usr/share/doc/myproject',['AUTHORS','COPYING','README','TODO'])] setup(name='MyProject', version='0.1', license='GPL2', description='Trying distutils, author=['Hugo Doria'],package_dir={'modules':MyProject/modules', 'output':'MyProject/output'},packages=['modules', 'output'], scripts=['myproject'], data_files=DATAFILES) When i run setup.py install it does works. But i get this on my system: /usr//lib/python2.6/site-packages/modules /usr//lib/python2.6/site-packages/output /usr//lib/python2.6/site-packages/MyProject It's a bit strange, is not?
It's exactly what you asked for. Your setup.py says you have two top-level packages called 'modules' and 'output', so that's what you got.
Shouldn't it be something like: /usr//lib/python2.6/site-packages/MyProject /usr//lib/python2.6/site-packages/MyProject/output/ /usr//lib/python2.6/site-packages/MyProject/modules/ What am i doing wrong?
You're using a package_dir with more than one entry in it, which is a sign that your project's layout is broken. If you wanted a layout like the one you describe here, you need to:
1. Omit the package_dir option altogether 2. set packages = ['MyProject', 'MyProject.output', 'MyProject.modules'] 3. Add an __init__.py in the MyProject directory, to make it the parent package _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
