Hi; trying to get back into this again... So, there's a package at http://svn.saddi.com/flup/trunk/ that I want to install, but it has no setup.py file. I think that file should look something like: from setuptools import setup setup(name="flup", packages=['flup', 'flup.middleware', 'flup.resolver', 'flup.server'] version='0.0-devel-r???') And I'd probably add other things, but I think that's all that's required. So... how should I make this happen? Should I hardcode 'http://svn.saddi.com/flup/trunk' into the setup.py file? Can I make the location overrideable with an option? How do I download the checkout? What was in a function before is now in setuptools.package_index.PackageIndex, and involves all sorts of data that doesn't seem to imply (because it's not a package without the setup.py file, and there's no index to get it from). Should I calculate r??? on my own, and if so where? Right before I call setup()? I need the repository location to do so, so if the repository location was overrideable then I'd need to get the real location. Once the files are checkout out, how do I put it in place? Is there a way to set the "base path" for the packages, so I could say "install these packages, found in /tmp/wherever-it-was-downloaded-to"? -- Ian Bicking / ianb@colorstudy.com / http://blog.ianbicking.org
