I have encoutered a strange problem with distutils on Win2k,WinXP using python 2.2.2. When I run 'python setup.py install' the file 'data.txt' is copied as expected to: C:\Python22\Lib\site-packages\PyTest\data.txt When I run 'python setup.py bdist_wininst' and select default on all options during installation the file 'data.txt' is copied to: C:\Python22\python22\Lib\site-packages\PyTest\data.txt ++++++++++++++++++ I guess this is a bug. Best regards, Jens B. Helmers #Begin setup.py-------------------------------------------------- import os from distutils.core import setup from distutils import sysconfig package = "PyTest" files = ['data.txt'] install_dir = os.path.join( sysconfig.get_python_lib(), package ) setup(name = package, packages = [ package ], data_files = [ (install_dir, files) ] ) #End setup.py---------------------------------------------------- ********************************************************************** Neither the confidentiality nor the integrity of this message can be guaranteed following transmission on the Internet.
