I thought you were using --find-links as of your last email? So, I'm a little confused as to what scenario you're actually trying to fix. Yes, as I mentioned, I *used* to be using --find-links, but I determined this is not what I really wanted (though it did work in version c9). The next thing I would do is verify that the config file is actually being read, by setting the DISTUTILS_DEBUG environment variable to "yes", and then running "easy_install -v ." and observing the output. I know the answer is "absolutely, yes" for top level dependencies, as web access is blocked due to the setup.cfg line. Just not for the dependencies' dependencies. When I get a chance and I am in the office, I would gladly post the results of the debug.
Thank you for posting the disclaimer before use. I am exactly aware it is deleting that file and for my project that is completely acceptable, so I did not do anything fancy like backing it up. I'd hope anyone using this would have an understanding of python enough to see what is going on and modify it to meet their needs, but that is a poor assumption so a disclaimer would have been better; thank you for posting such. I would be *extremely* upset if I tried to install your package and it erased one of my .pydistutils.cfg files, with all their command aliases, wikiup configs, path customizations, etc. (Again, for my project this is a non-issue, as our company installs our software on our client's VMs.) (Of course, when run under easy_install control, the sandbox should catch your setup script's antics and terminate it with an error without harming any files, but still... it's pure evil and the sort of thing that should NEVER, ever be done in a setup.py, on pain of banishment from PyPI.)Hard to tell if you are saying that tongue-in-cheek, but if not, now you're being a bit harsh. I am working around a problem that is a deficit in the tool (as far as I can determine). In my circumstances what I am doing is perfectly acceptable and work-around of this nature are not "pure evil", it works and it may help someone else with exactly my issue, though it was rather amusing to read, just that I couldn't tell how serious you were being. Thanks again for your help thus far. _______________________________________________ |
