Why data_files listed in setup.py being ignored?! How fix?
by seberino＠spawar.navy.mil Oct. 7, 2003

Oct. 7, 2003

My setup.py basically looks something like this..... import glob ... setup( ..., ..., data_files = [ ( "pixmaps", glob.glob("pixmaps/*.xpm") ) ] .... ) The package I made with "python setup.py sdist" looks good except none of the data_files show up in tarball?!?! How fix? Chris -- _______________________________________ Christian Seberino, Ph.D. SPAWAR Systems Center San Diego Code 2872 49258 Mills Street, Room 158 San Diego, CA 92152-5385 U.S.A.

Variable substitution
by Joel Becker Oct. 7, 2003

Oct. 7, 2003

Folks, A quick look at the distutils source, some extensive googling, and even walking a few months of the distutils-sig archive all have yet to yield an answer to my quandry. I'm looking to substitute some variables at 'build' time ala what autoconf/configure does to .in files. I have some configuration I want to set up with my setup.py script and insert into a file (specifically, the location of some support files). I can't find a way to do this in distutils. My first thought was to do the work by hand before calling distutils.core.setup(), but then I realized that I'd have no idea what setup() thought certain values would be (eg, prefix) until after I'd called it. Is there a recommended way to accomplish this? Is there a way I can add this? A quick pointer would help.

newbie distutils questions *please*...
by seberino＠spawar.navy.mil Oct. 3, 2003

Oct. 3, 2003

I had some newbie distutils I wanted to humbly ask if you don't mind. I read distutils docs on python.org but still had some basic questions... 1. What goes into __init__.py files??? I know what setup.py contents are but I don't recall seeing advice on what to put in __init__.py. 2. I have a ton of data files to list in setup(...) with the data_files switch. Can I avoid listing EVERY file somehow??? Can I use a wildcard in the filename???? 3. Will bdist_rpm install JUST pyc files (bytecode)??? Will sdist install JUST py (source) files??? What about installing source and bytecode?? (py and pyc)?? How do that and is THAT a good idea??? 4. If I tell setup(...) I have a package somewhere with packages = ["..."] does that mean it will get ALL files in that directory without me having to specify them individually?? What if I want to OMIT a file like the CVS directory?!?! Thanks!

"maintainer" definition
by Mikhail Sobolev Oct. 1, 2003

Oct. 1, 2003

I have a quick question regarding the maintainer{,_email} fields. Who exactly is supposed to be mentioned here? I checked the documentation and did not find anything on this topic. "Distributing Python Modules" just mentiones that you can also add this information to the setup.py file, while "tasks and roles" document uses a completely different terminology. So is there anything like a description of a maintainer? Thanks -- Misha

You need to build a libpython23.a library (it's not supplied with Python). See section 6.2.2 of "Installing Python Modules" in the Python documentation, it gives all the steps you need. Hope this helps, Paul.

errors building with mingw32
by Jonathan Taylor Oct. 1, 2003

Oct. 1, 2003

Hi, I have a possibly stupid question -- my apologies. I am trying to build some modules written on a Linux platform in Windows (Windows 2000) using mingw32. I have tried building the following REALLY basic module and am getting some strange errors (it works fine with VC++ 6.0). My command line is python setup.py build -c mingw32 Module: #include <Python.h> static PyObject *myfoo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *keywords); /* Module methods */ static PyMethodDef FooMethods[] = { {"_myfoo", (PyCFunction) myfoo, METH_VARARGS|METH_KEYWORDS, "FOO!"}, {NULL, NULL, 0, NULL} /* Sentinel */ }; /* Initialize the module foo */ void initfoo(void) { PyObject *module; module = Py_InitModule("foo", FooMethods); } static PyObject *myfoo(PyObject *self, PyObject *args, PyObject *keywords) { int output_int; char *keyword_list[] = {"output_int", NULL}; if (! PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords(args, keywords, "i", keyword_list, &output_int)) { PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_TypeError, Py_BuildValue("OO", args, keywords)); return NULL; } fprintf(stderr,"%d\n", output_int); return(Py_None); } Here is my setup.py file from distutils.core import setup, Extension import os libraries=[] library_dirs=[] include_dirs=[] mincutils_mod = [] mincutils_mod.append(Extension('foo', sources = ['foo.c'], include_dirs=include_dirs, library_dirs=library_dirs, libraries=libraries)) setup (name = 'foo', version = '0.4', description = 'This is a package to foo.', author = 'Jonathan E. Taylor', author_email = 'jonathan.taylor(a)stanford.edu', url = '', long_description = ''' ''', ext_modules = mincutils_mod) and the error messages: F:\Python Example>python setup.py build -c mingw32 running build running build_ext building 'foo' extension writing build\temp.win32-2.3\Release\foo.def F:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe -mno-cygwin -shared -s build\temp.win32-2.3\Release\foo.o b uild\temp.win32-2.3\Release\foo.def -LF:\Python23\libs -LF:\Python23\PCBuild -lp ython23 -o build\lib.win32-2.3\foo.pyd build\temp.win32-2.3\Release\foo.o(.text+0x94):foo.c: undefined reference to `_i mp__PyExc_TypeError' build\temp.win32-2.3\Release\foo.o(.text+0xc1):foo.c: undefined reference to `_i mp___Py_NoneStruct' error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
