Hello Andi,
Thanks for your note. It took quite some days of effort but
I finally found a “golden path” to make a package out of
PyLucene.
I had to do ‘make’ and ‘make test’ without the setup.cfg
first. Otherwise 'make test' would dump a bunch of stuff
into my specified install root in a temporary directory and
then fail the tests entirely.
After ‘make’ and ‘make test’ succeed, I then put the
setup.cfg in the source folder and run ‘make install’ to
get the files to be copied to the alternate root specified
in the setup.cfg. Then I need to move and rename the
folders copied to the alternate root to match what the
install would normally do if it were allowed to install to
the usual root destination, because install apparently
behaves differently when given an alternate root. Then
I copy the missing _lucene.py and native_libs.txt files
from the source directory to the alternate root path.
Finally I created a doinst.sh script which uses sed to
add the proper path to easy-install.pth.
Then I take everything in the alternate root and make
a package out of it.
In case it helps anyone I put the various build and
script files in Dropbox, I’ll hopefully be submitting
them to slackbuilds.org sometime soon.

I think the reason it is so hard to package PyLucene
is that it is exceedingly free software, and doesn’t
like to be locked up inside of a package :).
Regards,
—Ed

Hello folks,
I?m working on packaging PyLucene to a Slackware
package by using a setup.cfg in the source directory
and redirecting the installation root to
/tmp/pylucene_installdir.
I noticed that a couple of files are missing when doing
this alternate root install compared to the regular install.
## setup.cfg ###
[easy_install]
[build]
[install]
root = /tmp/pylucene_installdir
compile = False
force = True
single-version-externally-managed = True

I noticed that two files are missing when I do this root=
install compared to the regular install to /usr/lib?/
Are these two files below not necessary when
packaging PyLucene for distribution?
Missing: native_libs.txt
I don't know what this file, native_libs.txt, is for. Maybe a setuptools
artifact ?

Contains:
lucene/_lucene.so
Missing: _lucene.py
Yes, that one you need.
Did you try running pylucene tests without it ?
Andi..

Contains:
def __bootstrap__():
global __bootstrap__, __loader__, __file__
import sys, pkg_resources, imp
__file__ = pkg_resources.resource_filename(__name__, '_lucene.so')

Thanks in advance!
