[issue12830] --install-data doesn't effect resources destination
New submission from trevor tre...@well.com: attempting to point the relative destination with --install-data does not seem to have an effect. the specified directory is created, but resources are still installed relative to the present working directory. setup.cfg: [files] resources = externalfiles/tobemoved.txt = support % pysetup3 run install_dist --install-data /tmp/example /tmp/example is created with no files, ./support/tobemoved.txt is created -- assignee: tarek components: Distutils2 messages: 142878 nosy: alexis, eric.araujo, tarek, trevor priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: --install-data doesn't effect resources destination type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12830 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue12830] --install-data doesn't effect resources destination
Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment: This is one of the things that were left under-specified when the resources subsystem was introduced by adding working code instead of a PEP. I think that --install-data is obsolete now, and that there should be another way to override specific sysconfig variables or paths (which are used to install data files/resources) from the command line and config files, to replace --install-data. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue12830 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
