Ah, okay. I assume this will only work for packages that use setuptools?
Or distribute. Or pip (I assume). Anything but plain distutils,
basically.
Well, the packages import setup from setuptools for all of the above,
apart from plain distutils ;-)
How do static resources returned with pkg_resources.resource_filename
and friends fare when packages are installed in a "flat" form?
They go in the same relative location as they would in an egg, it's just
that in flat layouts everyone's files are in the same namespace.
Sort of a "scrambled egg", if you will. ;-)
Okay, so if we have two distributions, x.a and x.b both define template
folders called 'templates', and each has a template called 'master',
what ends up on disk? what does
pkg_resources.resource_filename('x.a','templates/master') return?
It should be different to
pkg_resources.resource_filename('x.b','templates/master'), but will it be?
cheers,
Chris
