Ya know, that is exactly what I did (used build yesterday) this morning (used install) and it still put the files in a subdirectory of the source directory, not over /python34/lib. Is there supposed to be a path variable changed somewhere? There are no instructions in plain sight except if I want to publish. How to install must be part of the setup module. The package also includes urllib3 and it is not being made in the /python/lib directory either. > >or whatever version of Python you're using.
