Hi all (but mostly Bob)
I'm having trouble with bdist_mpkg and the matplotlib data dir. In
setup.py, data_files is defined as:
[('share/matplotlib', ['fonts/afm/cmex10.afm', 'fonts/afm/cmmi10.afm',
'fonts/afm/cmr10.afm', 'fonts/afm/cmsy10.afm', 'fonts/afm/cmtt10.afm',
'fonts/afm/pagd8a.afm', 'fonts/afm/pagdo8a.afm',
...
(there are lots more, but you get the idea).
I guess this means that the files listed should all go into
"share/matplotlib"
If I install with "setup.py install" they end up in:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/share/matplotlib
but when I use bdist_mpkg, they get put in:
/usr/local/share/share/matplotlib
Note the double "share".
As a result, matplotlib can't find them. I think it's looking in
/usr/local/share/matplotlib
without the double share.
so, two questions: why is it putting it in /usr/local at all? I'd prefer
that python packages just stay in the python tree. However, that's a
taste issue, I suppose. More importantly how can we get rid of the extra
"share"?
