Re: [Python-Dev] PEP 376 - contents of RECORD file

Hi Paul,

Looking at a RECORD file installed by pysetup (on 3.3 trunk, on Windows) all of the filenames seem to be absolute, even though the package is pure-Python and so everything is under site-packages. Looking at PEP 376, it looks like the paths should be relative to site-packages. Two questions:

1. Am I reading this right? Is it a bug in pysetup? I believe so.

2. Does it matter? Are relative paths needed, or is it just nice to have? I’ll try to find the mailing list thread that lead to this change.

Regards
