(where python is 2.7a2+). The output is a .tar.gz file but it includes ".macosx-10.4-i386" in the filename and the tar file itself has more structure and fewer files than I think it should have:
The macosx-10.4-i386 bit is normal since you are building a binary distribution.
% tar tfz dist/lockfile-0.8.macosx-10.4-i386.tar.gz ./ ./Users/ ./Users/skip/ ./Users/skip/local/ ./Users/skip/local/lib/ ./Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/ ./Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ ./Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lockfile-0.8-py2.7.egg-info ./Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lockfile.py ./Users/skip/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/lockfile.pyc
That's a strange output, it should build a tree corresponding to the mac platform installation scheme, but here it seems to use a user tree. so is should be: ./Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/.... or ./usr/local/lib/python2.7/... depending on how you have installed Python; instead of ./Users/skip/...
setup.py is simple:
from distutils.core import setup setup(name='lockfile', ... bunch of kwd args elided ... )
Where are the missing files?
I'd need to see the full setup.py options.
How do I create a platform-independent distribution?
By using the "sdist" command. bdist will compile and generate platform-specific distributions. Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
