I just started using distutils, have run into a snag and could really use some help. I'm able to create source distributions with no problem. But when I try to create a windows installer version via:
C:\Code\PyCrust>python setup.py bdist --formats=wininst
I get a win32.exe file that does not contain my icon file or subdirectories, whereas the .zip and .tar.gz files come out fine. Is this a known problem? Or am I doing something wrong?
Here are my manifest files:
MANIFEST.in ----------- include PyCrust.ico recursive-include Data *.py *.txt recursive-include Demos *.py *.txt recursive-include Docs *.py *.txt

I just started using distutils, have run into a snag and could really use some help. I'm able to create source distributions with no problem. But
when
I try to create a windows installer version via:
C:\Code\PyCrust>python setup.py bdist --formats=wininst
I get a win32.exe file that does not contain my icon file or
subdirectories,
whereas the .zip and .tar.gz files come out fine. Is this a known problem? Or am I doing something wrong?
IIUC, the bdist commands only bundle what would be installed with a "python setup.py install" command. I've been able to get other files installed by using the data_files parameter to the setup function. For example (edited from PyBSDDB):
setup(name = 'bsddb3', # # ... all the other stuff clipped ... #
data_files = [("bsddb3/utils", ["db/bin/db_archive.exe", "db/bin/db_checkpoint.exe", "db/bin/db_deadlock.exe", "db/bin/db_dump.exe", "db/bin/db_load.exe", "db/bin/db_printlog.exe", "db/bin/db_recover.exe", "db/bin/db_stat.exe", "db/bin/db_upgrade.exe", "db/bin/db_verify.exe", "db/bin/libdb%s.dll" % ver, ]), ("bsddb3/test", glob.glob("test/*.py")) ] )

I will give that a try, Robin. In the mean time, can someone please explain to me the precise purpose of the MANIFEST file? Why would I specify files to include in the distribution, that I didn't actually want installed? This makes no sense to me at all. All the files I want are in the .zip and .tar.gz, and are extracted properly, but only the root directory is actually getting installed by "python setup.py install". If I have to specify everything in the data_files parameter, what does the MANIFEST buy me?

Correction, the .zip and .tar.gz files contain everything specified in MANIFEST, but do not *install* everything that gets unzipped. I have to say, this has got to be the most frustrating experience I have had yet with Python.
