New submission from Salvo Tomaselli: I have a python thing that I'm installing in a custom path, using
setup.py install --root=/tmp/turi13 --install-purelib=custom/path However, if the setup.py file contains a data_files field, then, unless i also specify --install-data, the --install-purelib parameter gets ignored. I think an error should be generated and the entire thing should fail instead. Same for all of those --install-* parameters. ---------- messages: 791 nosy: ltworf priority: bug status: unread title: Install path changes when data_files is present _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setupto...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue166> _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
