hum, i think this relates to earlier installs and/or your PATH settings. the above egg does not install "py.*". What it does is this (see "def run" at the end of http://codespeak.net/svn/py/release/0.9.x/setup.py): rename py.test, py.rest, etc. to py_test, py_rest, etc. in the Python25/Scripts dir and create py.test.cmd, py.rest.cmd, ... helpers which calls the underscore scripts. But indeed, if one installs 0.9.1 and then 0.9.2-alpha one cannot use "py.test" out of the box. This relates to the old PATH hacks. The new egg does not need to add to PATH which i think is good. So i guess I am going to work to try to fix things by going through the PATH and pruning out "py/bin/" PATHS if they look like py lib ones. Actually i think it makes sense to try to undo this PATH addition while upgrading, anyway. > Recommendation: rename those to pycleanup.cmd, pycountloc.cmd etc. i'd like to have uniforming naming if possible. on two sidenotes, i wonder why setuptools does not automatically delete the old py lib version and if there is a setuptool-supported way of uninstalling packages. many thanks for noting this, holger _______________________________________________ py-dev mailing list py-dev@codespeak.net http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/py-dev
