It works! Thanks for such quick turnaround!
If I may add a suggestion for the matplotlib setup from sources
(which I had tried just after the egg install failed):
The directory specified to the --prefix argument of setup.py would
seem like a natural addition to basedir in setupext.py (of course
it's always possible, but more awkward to edit it). The scenario
(which matches mine) is a user of a computing cluster who has no
administrator access, and is installing all libraries in $HOME/lib
and $HOME/include.
The prefix can be extracted from the line arguments with
installation_prefix = None
for arg in sys.argv:
if arg.startswith('--prefix='):
installation_prefix = arg.split('=', 1)[1]
if installation_prefix:
basedir.append(installation_prefix)
I'm sure there is another method to do this that fits more naturally
with distutils. There's a reference to --prefix later in setupext.py,
but I don't think it's operational.
Thanks again,
Michele
