Yeah, splitting client and server packages is on my to-do list. Was just hoping to keep Python2 users from shooting themselves in the foot with a server subpackage which wouldn't work. S On Thu, Apr 26, 2018 at 10:59 AM, Chris Barker <chris.barker@noaa.gov> wrote:
frankly, I'd give up n find_packages -- it's not that magic, it's just a convenience function so you don't need to hand-specify them.
But in this case, you're doing something weird, so I"d just be explicit.
Though what I'd probably really do is make the client and server completely separate packages. After all, you say your users only want the client side anyway.
and if the server depends on the client (which I"d hope it doesn't!) then you can simply make it a dependency.

If by "top/server tree" you mean that there are more subpackages under top.server (not just a server.py file as your diagram shows), then you need to filter out all of those subpackages as well, e.g.:
packages = setuptools.find_packages() if sys.version_info.major < 3: packages = [ pkg for pkg in packages if pkg != "top.server" and not pkg.startswith("top.server.") ]
Thanks, yes, there is another subpackage within top/server, but I eliminated it as well. I was simplifying for the email. The raw find_packages() output looks like this:
['tests', 'top', 'tests.python', 'top.client', 'top.server', 'top.server.db']
I was excising the last two elements from the returned list, so the argument of the packages keyword looked like this:
['tests', 'top', 'tests.python', 'top.client']
Does the presence of 'top' in the list imply everything under it will be copied (I do want 'top', as that's the top level package, not just a directory in my repo.)
I'll keep messing with it.
