Brian Warner and I discovered that issue yesterday, too. We determined that if you install the egg (with easy_install or with a setuptools-powered ./setup.py install) in unzipped form then the source file names get rewritten so that your stack traces come with source lines. If you have a package which requires stack traces to come with source lines, then you could pass "zip_safe=False" to the call to setup(). I would prefer that zip_safe=False were the default and that either the producer or the consumer of a package had to specifically choose zip_safe=True in order to install eggs in zipped form. I've opened a ticket on my setuptools trac: http://allmydata.org/trac/setuptools/ticket/4 Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ 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
