There's something wrong there. You can put .so, .dll, or .pyd files in eggs - they get extracted to a cache directory automatically, but those directories *don't* get added to sys.path. The mere presence of such files is not enough to cause an egg to be installed unzipped. The package has to be using things like __file__, the package author has to have marked it zip-unsafe, or easy_install was invoked with a request to install unzipped. As long as none of these conditions apply, the egg should be installed zipped, with dynamic libraries automatically extracted on-demand to the $PYTHON_EGG_CACHE. >But even without egg directories >> >['', >'C:\\Python25\\Scripts', >'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip', >'C:\\Python25\\DLLs', >'C:\\Python25\\lib', >'C:\\Python25\\lib\\plat-win', >......... >'C:\\Python25\\lib\\site-packages\\wx-2.8-msw-unicode'] >len(sys.path) == 18 (without eggs) near 18 / 2 = 9 'file not found' errors > for every first module import. That depends on what the module is. In the path you've shown, having a python25.zip would allow only 2 failures before each stdlib import. (Note that an failed zipfile imports are roughly equivalent to a dictionary lookup in time - they don't access the filesystem once the zipfile index is loaded). >So improvement of setuptools will help, but not solve this problem . Right -- most of your problem will be solved by creating 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip', containing the contents of C:\\Python25\\lib\\. Hm. Interesting, actually. Does anybody know why it's looking for 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\python25.zip'? That seems wrong to me. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
