Hi,
the install script does precisely what was intended by the authors. We
want to place some data to a shared data directory /usr/local/share/
pyx and we also want to create a systemwide pyxrc at /etc/pyxrc. While
those locations can be altered by some options to the setup.py script,
they are very reasonable defaults. I don't know why distutils does not
properly support such install locations by default.
Does somebody know any better?
