Tarek Ziadé <ziade.ta...@gmail.com> added the comment: I figured out the problem after writing the test. This is not a problem on distutils side but on setuptools side. If you remove setuptools from lxml setup.py, it'll work perfectly.
setuptools patches distutils's build_ext and remove temporarely the inplace option, so the code on distutils side that goes with the inplace option is not called... extract from setuptools. {{{ def run(self): """Build extensions in build directory, then copy if --inplace""" old_inplace, self.inplace = self.inplace, 0 _build_ext.run(self) self.inplace = old_inplace if old_inplace: self.copy_extensions_to_source() }}} So this problem should be fixed on setuptools side. ---------- resolution: -> invalid _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6365> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
