I'd like to give the user control over where the files get installed. It looks like distutils installs into site-packages by default, and there's no way to override it. The UI shows the destination directory in a box that looks like it should be editable, but it isn't.
If you run setup.py install, you can pass a --home that affects where files are installed. I'm looking for something similar on Windows.
--install-data should work on Windows (while --home is Unix centric). That is out of the box, and of course you can always overload the command class for more complex things. Ciao, Jürgen -- Jürgen Hermann, Developer WEB.DE AG, http://webde-ag.de/
