I've received reports that one of my packages (OpenGLContext) installs certain data files somewhere under /usr/ on certain Unix-like systems instead of using the Package directory. I'd like to figure out if this is expected behaviour, a bug, a version-specific bug, or an expected behaviour with another option available to avoid it. I'm specifying the data files with: dataFiles = [] def nonPythonFile( file ): if string.lower( file ) == 'cvs': return 0 else: return os.path.splitext( file )[1] not in ('.py','.pyc','.pyo', '.db') for directory in ["tests","docs"]: finalFiles = [] for file in os.listdir( directory): if nonPythonFile(file): finalFiles.append (os.path.join(directory, file)) dataFiles.append ( ('OpenGLContext/%s'%(directory),finalFiles) ) setup ( name = "OpenGLContext", version = "1.0a2", description = "Demonstration and testing contexts for PyOpenGL 2.0", author = "Mike C. Fletcher", author_email = "mcfletch@geocities.com", url = "http://pyopengl.sourceforge.net/documentation/openglcontext/", license = "BSD-style, see license.txt for details", package_dir = {'OpenGLContext':'.'}, packages = [ 'OpenGLContext', 'OpenGLContext.tests', 'OpenGLContext.scenegraph', 'OpenGLContext.scenegraph.text', 'OpenGLContext.events', 'OpenGLContext.pydoc', 'OpenGLContext.loaders', ], # non python files of examples data_files = dataFiles, ) Expecting that the data_files will get copied into the OpenGLContext package's directory (which happens on Win32). Is there some other option to say "data file in the package directory"? I'm using distutils '1.0.2pre', assuming the users are using whatever came with their 2.0 or 2.1 distributions. Thoughts appreciated, Mike -- _______________________________________ Mike C. Fletcher http://members.rogers.com/mcfletch/
