Hello setuptools developers, I'm attempting to package the newest setuptools version (1.1.6) on Solaris 9 and 10. One of the limitations of the Solaris package manager (the old one, pkgadd/pkgrm), is that it is unable to handle file names with spaces. Would you mind renaming "script template.py" to something like "script_template.py"? Maciej

No replies. Did I write to a wrong list? I've created a pull request with the change, do you have any advice who should I talk to? https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/pull-request/33/rename-script-template... Maciej

Probably yes, they would mind. ;-) I believe the reason there's a space there is so that the file is not importable. (It should never be imported; it's a data file rather than a python module.) I suspect you'll have better luck with a suggestion like 'script-template.py', since that would still not be importable.

I've added a comment there about the underscore vs. dash; it looks from the other pull requests like Jason wants issues filed describing the problems that a pull request is intended to fix, and that may mean he hasn't seen the pull request yet.

The setuptools code did not make it clear at all. Thanks for explaining!

Thanks for the suggestion, I've created an issue: https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/issue/134/spaces-in-file-names-make-it... I'm not sure if there's a bitbucket-internal linking between issues and pull requests? I've just pasted the link in a comment to the pull request. Maciej
