In a setup.py, there's a method that builds some classes and puts them<br>
in a zip file. Then there's a line<br>
<br>
config.add_data_files(this_method)<br>
<br>
The method doesn't need to be called when only a source distribution<br>
is being created. I was hoping there might be a way to switch this<br>
config line off if there's no need for it, or maybe only switch it on<br>
when it is needed (something beyond using sys.argv).</div></div></blockquote><div><br>So you create a specific zip file on the fly, with some things in it, that is added in your source tree ?<br><br>Maybe you could create a specific source distribution command, that runs your code then call sdist<br>
