Éric Araujo <mer...@netwok.org> added the comment: Paul Moore reported that a Python built in its checkout on Windows has no problem installing, so I’d like to revisit this. The patch was also incomplete: The install module was changed, but people could still call “pysetup run install_dist”, and that command was not touched.
To support this on Unix too, we have to either fix sysconfig (#6087) or override some sysconfig paths in packaging. I will shoot an email at python-dev. There is no pattern for Lib/site-packages in .hgignore, which makes me think that this issue just never showed up before; I think I need approval before I go ahead. ---------- nosy: +pmoore resolution: fixed -> stage: committed/rejected -> needs patch status: closed -> open title: Warn when trying to install third-party module from an uninstalled checkout -> Support installation when running from an uninstalled Python _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12246> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
