Thought I'd try packaging up an OpenDX wrapper using the new Distutils.
I need to get a -I path on the cc command line (and a -L/-rpath on the linker line). Is there a way to do this with the current version (portably or UNIX-specific; either one)?
I gather from the docs that the Setup Configuration File will eventually take care of this third-party software path configuration. I'm looking for a stopgap until then.
If not, is there a "!shell <command>" backdoor that can be used in the meantime?
Thanks,
Randall

Just put 'include_dirs' and 'library_dirs' elements in dictionaries at the bottom of the 'ext_modules' list-of-tuples-of-dictionaries. Eg. see examples/mxdatetime_setup.py:
ext_modules = [('DateTime.mxDateTime.mxDateTime', { 'sources': ['mxDateTime/mxDateTime.c'], 'include_dirs': ['mxDateTime'], } )]
'library_dirs' is similar.
Note that this is a lot less hairy in the current CVS code:
ext_modules = [Extension('DateTime.mxDateTime.mxDateTime', ['mxDateTime/mxDateTime.c'], include_dirs=['mxDateTime'] ) ] And if this is a setting that users have to override (eg. "specify the include directories for libfoo here"), the config file code in the current CVS will handly this nicely.
Right, enough screwing around -- definitely time to write some docs and tests and get 0.9 out the door.

Thanks. I've got it packaged and ready to ship with Distutils 15.3.
I'll try it on a few folks tonight and see how they do.

Wow, great! I think this is the first recorded *forward*-looking time machine in the Python community; I'm glad to hear the Distutils makes it as far as version 15.3. How many years into the future did you have to travel?

PS. the current Distutils release is 0.8.2; 0.9 will be the next release. ;-)

Oops. Oh yeah, I meant to do that ;-)
That's Numeric's version number. Distutils 0.8.2 is what I used.
