Old bug still unfixed? [ python-Patches-1183712 ] package_data chops off first char of default package

Hi! Yesterday, a student came to me complaining about an old distutils bug which bit him: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-August/020642.html The patch is quite trivial and cannot possibly break something AFAICS, so could someone please apply it? (Hmm, now that I write this; we are still using python 2.4.4 here, so maybe it has been fixed in between?) Ciao, / / /--/ / / ANS

I wonder why nobody replied to any of my mails - I sent this simple patch and another slightly more complex one for handling the she-bang in script files: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2007-February/007306.html Finally, there was the shared library question, but I can very well imagine that no one had a solution for that one.. -- Ciao, / / /--/ / / ANS

Well, this is the distutils group more by name than by content; distutils is a bit neglected. Anyway, your patch looks good to me. I'd suggest taking the issue to python-dev: you need to find someone with cvs write access to get your patch in. - Lars
