Hi, I am trying to write a setup.py to create a source distribution for a wrapped library. The trick is that I need to build an intermediate library and the sdist command doesn't seem to like it.

python2.0 setup.py sdist gives me the following error message:
Traceback (innermost last): File "setup.py", line 44, in ? libraries=['libamber']) ... File "/tsri/python/share/lib/python1.5/site-packages/distutils/cmd.py", line 107, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError, attr AttributeError: get_source_files
I can very successfully run the following command: python2.0 setup.py bdist python2.0 setup.py build In the last case I have a working package that I can import from a python interpreter.
I am pretty sure that the sdist command doesn't work because the intermediate library has not benn build yet when trying to do the tar ball. Did I make a mistake in the setup.py? if not is there a way around that problem?
Thanks for any suggestions ! Sophie
Your setup.py is probably ok, it is a distutils bug, it is already filed in the bugs database ([ #414032 ] clib option is broken) http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=414032&group_id=5470&atid=105470 Kind regards Rene Liebscher
