Hello distutils. I'm excited about the recent developments going on with distutils, but I'm becoming concerned that my own package using distutils will not work at all with the new features. Currently it compiles and installs my modules quite well, but I am completely unable to use any of the 'dist' commands, since it doesn't get nearly enough of my files. I'd like to ask for a little peer review of the 'setup.py' for my project. I've had to "hack" together quite a few things to make them work as best i saw fit. The project also has a 'config.py' script which makes a semi-reasonable attempt to find all the dependency libraries/headers and create the "Setup" file. Anyways, like i mentioned, things are working fine enough for now, but i have serious concerns about my usage of distutils. I would be very greatful for those of you who know your way around distutils to look things over. For now i'm also completely ignoring my documentation and examples in distutils. I just package them in with my projects by hand. Ok, the project is "pygame", and it is a python wrapper for SDL and several other of its multimedia daughter libraries. The project is here, http://pygame.seul.org/ but you can download the source and examine my "setup.py" and build instructions from here http://pygame.seul.org/ftp/pygame-0.9.tar.gz Thanks a lot for those of you who can do this. The project is right around the corner from a 1.0 release, and I'd like to make sure my distutils installing is in as good as shape as it can be.
