Patrick Hunt commented on ZOOKEEPER-420:
----------------------------------------

Henry, this sounds good, however you need one more path for 1) & 3)

If the user types "ant test" from the toplevel build, all the java/c code will 
be compiled/tested. If the user then
cd's into src/contrib/zkpython and types "ant test" it will fail. The reason is 
that the c code is compiled
into the build directory (build/test/test-cppunit/.libs) rather than 
src/c/.libs when the "ant test" target is run.

Re ensuring the lib is built - you might take a look at what's done for 
ensuring that the java classes are build for 
contribs like the "rest" contrib. You could do similar for zkpython but for the 
c lib (might be more trouble than it's worth though).

Perhaps I missed it, but you should mention the PYTHONPATH in the readme 
(docs). I was trying LD_LIBRARY_PATH and
was suprised that python interp couldn't find the zookeeper.so, eventually I 
just gave up and copied the file. If I would
have know about PP it would have helped.


> build/test should not require install in zkpython

> Currently you cannot just build and test the zkpython contrib, you need to 
> actually install the zookeeper client c library as well
> as the zkpython lib itself.
> There really needs to be 2 steps:
> 1) build/test zkpython "encapsulated" within the src repository, there should 
> be no requirement to actually install anything
> (this is esp the case for automated processes and for review by PMC during 
> release time for example)
> 2) build an egg that can be distributed/installed by end user
