Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Distutils and setup.py Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Phillip J. Eby (pje) Assigned to: Guido van Rossum (gvanrossum) Summary: Install PKG-INFO with packages Initial Comment: This patch adds an 'install_egg_info' command to the distutils install process, that writes the standard PKG-INFO metadata to a file in the directory where the associated modules are being installed. The filename is based on setuptools' conventions for reading and writing such files, so that setuptools will be able to recognize distutils-installed packages as being present, and not attempt to reinstall them if they are sufficient to meet a requested dependency. As currently implemented, Python's main setup.py causes a Python-2.5a0-py2.5.egg-info to be installed in lib-dynload. It would probably be best if it also created similar files for ElementTree, ctypes, and any other packages incorporated into 2.4 or 2.5 that were separately distributed for Python 2.3. But that feature doesn't have to be in alpha 1. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1459476&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
