Ok, the patch is against latest CVS (sourceforge).
command-line options to the Python interpreter are quite rare. Now optionally ending command-line options are preserved in the scripts.
- install_misc is now the base class for all install commands install_misc is now removed since install_scripts and install_data both changed. No need of a common base class any more
Good that you brought this up, because I think I like the Automake way better. Your installation directories shouldn't be constrained by your Ok, implemented a bit of Automake: the data_files elements can be filename strings (these files are copied in install_data) and tuples with a directory to install to and a filename list. Example: data_files = ['info.txt', ('man/man1', ['bubble.1', 'bobble.1'])] ... installs /usr/share/info.txt /usr/share/man/man1/{bubble.1 bobble.1}
Note: if you want to provide an absolute data path instead of man/man1, the --root install option will fail. Bastian
