And I usually don't need it to be copied, since on the production server I will install these package by hand, from a Mercurial working copy. > and the -a flag in your -maxd > means "--always-copy" -- that is, copy the egg, even if it's on sys.path. > >> What I want is that in `deps` directory should copied all "normal" >> packages, as eggs, that are install requirements for package A or, >> indirectly, package B. >> >> Is this possible? > > Yes, just build eggs for your local packages and place them somewhere > accessible to --find-links.

And to have this done automatically, without having to build each required package. The needed packages are usually already on sys.path, since they have been installed the first time I executed "python setup.py develop" for my package, on my development machine. The trivial solution is of course to not use "develop" command, and to build a normal egg. I would like that setuptools will just copy the .egg-info file, *making sure* to use a relative path instead of an absolute path. As an example, using virtualenv I have this layout: A/ env/ bin/ include/ lib/ hg/ B/ deps/ setup.py ... `env` is the virtual environment. Inside the `hg` directory I have clones of the packages required by A and that are still under heavy development; these packages are installed using "develop" command. Inside the `deps` directory, I have all the eggs required by A and B packages. I copy all required eggs in this directory, using `-maxd` options, on my development machine. Then I create a tar archive, and, on the production server, I recreate the directory. The virtual environment is recreated each time, I do not use the - --relocatable option. If `-maxd` will make the B.egg-info file relative, then all I need to do is to `python setup.py develop` inside A directory, and B package should be correctly available. Is this possible?
