[issue13162] Trying to install a binary extension as a resource file causes pysetup to give a traceback

Éric Araujo mer...@netwok.org added the comment:

This does not look related to installing binary files at all, but rather an 
already known bug: #12386.

[issue13162] Trying to install a binary extension as a resource file causes pysetup to give a traceback

2011-10-12 Thread Paul Moore

New submission from Paul Moore p.f.mo...@gmail.com:

I am trying to create a pysetup package that contains a precompiled binary 
extension, which can be installed without compiling, by using the resource file 
feature of setup.cfg. This may be incorrect usage of pysetup, but at a minimum, 
a proper error message should be given rather than a traceback.

With a directory containing an extension hello.pyd plus the following setup.cfg 
file:

[metadata]
name = hello
version = 0.1
author = Paul Moore
author-email = p.f.mo...@gmail.com
summary = Test C extension

[files]
resources =
hello.pyd = {platlib}

I get a traceback when I do pysetup install:

PS D:\Data\python-sample\bin pysetup install

  File D:\Data\cpython\lib\packaging\command\install_distinfo.py, line 112, 
in run
writer.writerow(row)
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

If this configuration is invalid a better error message should be given. 
However, I would also like to know what (if any) would be the correct way of 
writing a setup.cfg file to install a compiled extension like this.

For background on why I am trying to do things in this (odd) way, see the 
python-dev thread starting at
