What does "Ignoring attempt to set 'name' (from ... " mean ?

Hi, I encounter this message when I am building a subtree of scipy (for example scipy/sparsetools). What does it mean exactly ? Is the setup.py doing something wrong ? cheers, David

They're fine. Ignore them. They are silenced from the main setup.py with config.set_options(quiet=True) -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

What are the cases where those message are meaningful ? I did not understand from the distutils code what kind of issues were related to this message, cheers, David

There probably aren't any significant ones in production. It was probably useful during development of the recursive setup.py feature. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
