Probably I was mislead by the following passage in the setuptools docs: "The distutils normally install general "data files" to a platform-specific location (e.g. /usr/share). This feature intended to be used for things like documentation, example configuration files, and the like. setuptools does not install *these* data files in a separate location, however." If I understand you correctly, *these* data files refers to package_data only, and you can still use data_files. Anyay, the data_files option is still not useful for copying the static files: You cannot use glob patterns as in setuptools; you cannot automatically create the necessary directories and subdirectories like "css" or "images"; and it seems to copy the files even when building the egg, not only when installing it. So my original problem is still not solved. -- Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
