Working in a port using python i'm facing this problem. If I run the application after the install the py source files are compiled in pyc (or pyo) files. This is good cause precompiled files provide better performances.
Mildly. :-) The "compiled" or "optimized" .pyc/.pyo files mainly improve upon the time required to load them by the interpreter.
The problem is deleting the port. The pyc files aren't registered in the pkg-plist so the deletion isn't complete and I can't delete the main directory containing the application files. If I add the pyc files, when I remove the port I receive an error saying the checksum dosn't exist, and that's right. So what's the best way handle this problem ?
Anyway, to address your issue, most Python software uses a setup.py file which uses distutils, and that is supported by the BSD ports infrastructure via the USE_PYDISTUTILS option, which will call the setup.py with the right arguments to build the .pyc/.pyo files. You can then list all of them in the pkg-plist and the right thing should happen from there.
If you'd like to see an example, check out one of the python ports which use this, such as /usr/ports/security/denyhosts; you'll see it listing:
%%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/DenyHosts/loginattempt.py %%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/DenyHosts/loginattempt.pyc %%PYTHON_SITELIBDIR%%/DenyHosts/loginattempt.pyo [ ... ] Regards, -- -Chuck _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
