Really? I've been doing "dump the app in a directory" since 1998 or so
on various *nix platforms. And when distutils came along, I set up a
user-specific cfg to install in the same directory. ISTR a 5-line
pydistutils.cfg is sufficient to make everything go into to a particular
directory, for packages using distutils for installation.
Perhaps somebody could clue me in on the best way to handle this scenario:
I develop in a single directory:
c:\source\loom\
loom.py
test_loom.py
because test_loom could at some point be executed by somebody besides
me, while living in site-packages, I have test_loom.py create its needed
files, including dynamic test scripts, in a temp directory. While this
works fine for site-packages, it doesn't work at all while testing as
the test script, being somewhere else, won't be able to load my test
copy of loom.
I know I have at least two choices:
- go with a virtualenv and have my development code be in the
virtualenv site-packages
- insert the current path into sys.path before calling out to
the dynamic scripts, but only if the current path is not
site-packages
Suggestions?
