I've been playing around with the bdist_rpm command in distutils and noticed that if a non pure module does not include a MANIFEST file then bdist_rpm fails because it doesn't include .h files (also sdist generates an unusable tar ball for the same module). Some of the comments in the distutils mention that without a manifest the sdist doesn't include the header files. Was this a policy decision or was it just because no one implemented something to get the header files?
I guess this is by design: How should distutils which .h files to magically include in the MANIFEST ? The Extension() objects only have information about the used .c files and the directories where the headers live. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg CEO eGenix.com Software GmbH ______________________________________________________________________ Company & Consulting: http://www.egenix.com/ Python Software: http://www.egenix.com/files/python/
