specifying the shipping of subpackages without their superpackages
by Ronny Pfannschmidt 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, i recently noticed that shipping a package like 'foo.bar' without also shipping 'foo' seems to work fine in distutils. since that would be nice way to ship packages within a namespace i want to sugest specifying the fact that it works and to clarify how it works. Regards Ronny

Buildout and PIL problem
by Restless Being 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

Hi all! I have a virtualenv created with --no-site-packages option and I'm going to install there Django and some required libs using buildout. The problematic library is PIL. Here is my buildout.cfg [buildout] parts = PIL django [django] recipe = djangorecipe version = 1.1 project = project eggs = psycopg2 PIL south django-reversion django-cms wsgi = true settings = production [PIL] recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom egg = PIL==1.1.6 find-links = http://dist.repoze.org and it is something generally recommended by other users. See: http://www.stereoplex.com/two-voices/a-django-development-environment-with-… I also tried some other versions of [PIL] like: [PIL] recipe = zc.recipe.egg:custom egg = PIL==1.1.6 find-links = http://dist.repoze.org/PIL-1.1.6.tar.gz index = http://dist.repoze.org/index The first problem is that the above recipe installs PIL 1.1.7 instead of 1.1.6.

One package for both python and jython
by Fabrizio Pollastri 20 Nov '09

20 Nov '09

Hello, I am trying to upgrade a pure python package distribution based on distutils in such a way that it will work with both python and jython. Since my package depends on some part of python library when run by python and on some other part of jython library when run by jython, the source structure is the following. my_package_source_dir/ common_files files_for_python files_for_jython It will be a maximum, if distutils let me to reach the following goals. 1. python/jython setup.py sdist command has to build the distribution tar my_package.tar.gz containing all files required by python and by jython. 2. python setup.py install command has to install in the python package tree my_package_source_dir/ common_files files_for_python 3. jython setup.py install command has to install in the jython package tree my_package_source_dir/ common_files files_for_jython It is possible to implement this behavior with the setup function of distutils? There are other ways (please, no package split)? Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you in advance. Fabrizio Pollastri

obtaining easy_install prefix in setup.py
by Pavol Juhas 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

Hello, I searched and read the recent discussions on the distutils-sig list and I hope someone can help me with the following problem. Is there a way to recover the prefix value inside pkgfoo/setup.py, when it is installed as easy_install --prefix=value pkgfoo (pkgfoo is a directory with setup.py) I can get the prefix, when pkgfoo is installed with python setup.py install --prefix=value by overloading the bdist_egg class and passing it via cmdclass argument to the setup function: http://danse.us/trac/diffraction/browser/diffraction/diffpy.lib/trunk/setup… http://danse.us/trac/diffraction/browser/diffraction/diffpy.lib/trunk/setup… However, this does not work under easy_install, because easy_install already creates its own distribution object before sourcing pkgfoo/setup.py, in addition setup.py is executed in a sandbox with mangled sys.argv. Has anybody, perhaps David Cournapeau, figured out how to wrestle the prefix value out of easy_install? Thank you all, Pavol PS: Let me give you some background for what I am trying to do. I am working on several Python packages that need to be distributed together with a shared C++ library (libdiffpy.so). So far I have used scons to build and install the library and that has been working really well. However, I would like to have a dependency resolution for any client packages as available in the setuptools. After wading through the "People want CPAN" thread I realized that converting my scons scripts to distutils would be a hopeless task. So my solution is to package the library sources in a phony python package diffpy.lib, where its setup.py is extended to execute scons that actually takes care of the library build and installation. I have decided to ignore all setup.py options and take care of the prefix under which the library should be installed. However to do so, I need to recover the prefix value and pass it to scons.

[issue97] Windows installer causes different behavior
by David Hart 19 Nov '09

19 Nov '09

New submission from David Hart <dbhart(a)sandia.gov>: Using the windows .exe installer for setuptools0.6c11 causes an error that is not present when using the .tar.gz and installing from source (python setup.py install). easy_install.exe behaves differently between the two methods. Using the .exe, you can no longer download the setuptools package (see attached) - it finds it somewhere cached, and then tries to overwrite itself. Using the .tar.gz build, it behaves correctly. ---------- messages: 467 nosy: dbhart priority: bug status: unread title: Windows installer causes different behavior _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue97> _______________________________________________

PEP 345 update + RFC on "Requires-External" and "Requires-Python"
by Tarek Ziadé 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

Hello I've update PEP 345 with a first draft about the markers, http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0345/#environment-markers PEP 390 is being reworked accordingly, but I guess we can have a new round of comments on PEP 345 and PEP 386, as they can be accepted and added in Python independently from the other PEPs. There's also a "Requires-External" field that was added in the first update of 345, that we need to discuss. The idea of this field is to be able to define a non-Python dependency in the metadata. It's based on a list stored and managed at PyPI. Values could be things like "libxslt", "libpng", etc.. Last, "Requires-Python" is introduced to define the version of Python. I am not sure this is required anymore since Martin has added a Trove classifier for this. But in the meantime, this is stronger than a "simple" classifier I think. Any comments ?

I would say we don't need anything. This field is like the "data type" stuff (not yet in a PEP): we want the downstream folks from Fedora / Debian to suggest values to the upstream (PyPI) package maintainer. I think we can get "enough" traction from just having a well-understood name ('zlib', 'libxslt', etc.) in this field.
