Hi Mark,
Yes, I understand very well, knowing the patching dance so much more
than I'd like to...
In fact, 'win32/lib' is a folder, actually the only one which is not
also a
package, and exactly this one does not show up in the install logs.
I have the impression that setuptools changed policy about 'py_modules',
if 'packages' is given, too. So I think 'win32/lib' is the only problem
here, because
it is the only thing that is not a package.
That makes sense - although it probably also means that .pyc files etc
may not generated. I wonder if it might be better to see if we can
trick setuptools such that we add a dummy package so at least
everything special it does for packages is also done for these files?
Or maybe we should reach out to setuptools - it might simply be an
accidentally introduced bug.
Yes, there can be a better patch. On the other hand, nowadays there is
no need
to precompile. If people use it in py2exe or pyinstaller, it will get
compiled, anyway.
It might be interesting for system-wide installs. But again, most people
use virtualenv...
Anyway, a minor point for me if you have a better way to trick setuptools.
I agree that this should be discussed with the distutils people. Not
sure if I
should do that. They broke your project, but nobody cares because the
builds are there :-)
Please let me know how you will do it. Actually I have one or two other
things
to dicuss with you...
cheers & thanks -- chris
