setup.py fails miserably when invoked using relative path, i.e. `python ../../setup.py ...`. In this case it attempts to look up referenced files in current directory - not in its own dir.
What is it needed for? Does distutils2 fix this?
No, but one long term goal of distutils2 is to make setup.py optional, meaning that the commands will be run using for example a -m call that could look like this: $ python -m distutils2 run install And could take the project root path as an option : $ python -m distutils2 run install -p /here/is/the/project Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | http://ziade.org
