Python 2.6 can run a zip file, searching for __main__.py in the root of the zip archive and running it. How can I create such an archive using distutils (and not setuptools) ?
If I use # python setup.py bdist --format=zip I get a "dumb" zip file with a deep tree structure from "/" and I cannot put the __main__.py in the root archive If I use # python setup.py sdist --format=zip I get a more compact tree. But the tree start bellow directory named "mypackage-version", my-package-1.0/ setup.py __main__.py ........ If I use setuptool, generating .EGG I get exacly what I want ! But I read it is bad to use setuptool and EGGs since pip is available :-) I was hopping distutils have been updated when adding the zip trick, but I didn't find the trick.
